Web platform features explorer

📃 January 2012 release notes

New in Firefox

The following features are now available in Firefox:

  • <bdi>: The <bdi> element isolates text that may have a different text direction from its surrounding text. This prevents the browser's bidirectional text algorithm from affecting or being affected by the direction of the surrounding text.
  • <bdo>: The <bdo> element overrides the directionality of text, so that the text within is rendered in a different direction than the surrounding text.
  • OES_standard_derivatives WebGL extension: The OES_standard_derivatives extension for WebGL 1.0 contexts adds the GLSL derivative functions dFdx, dFdy, and fwidth.
