The list of supported features is too restrictive compared to what actually works in the browser. 
This causes SVG documents with <switch> elements to fail. 
I have seen bug 410761 but it is two years old now and restricted to filters. Other features like animation or image are reported as not implemented though they actually are. Could you revisit them ? Here is the current status

Attachment: sample to reproduce the problem (using SVG switch elements)

Comment 2

[Robert Longson [:longsonr]]

Specifically which features would you mark as supported? My analysis is in bug 322724 comment 5 onwards.

Comment 3

[Robert Longson [:longsonr]]

animation isn't marked as supported as event based animation is not implemented.

Comment 4

[Lukas Laag]

I had not seen your policy for marking features supported. Disregard

Comment 5

[Robert Longson [:longsonr]]

Well having a policy in a bug isn't the best approach ever and don't let this put you off raising anything else. If you want to edit https://developer.mozilla.org/en/SVG_in_Firefox (or some other relevant page) and add something abou why we don't claim support for some things feel free.
