Firefox has had some form of SVG support since 1.x, so I was mildly surprised\nwhen I attempted to view an SVG image in my fresh install of Firefox 2 when it\ndidn't work - Firefox told me that I needed to install missing plugins. (Which\nunsurprisingly couldn't be found since no plugin is in fact needed.)

So what was the cause of all this woe and despair? Well it all stemmed from the\nfact that I upgrades from 1.5 to 2, and in 1.5 I was using the Adobe SVG plugin\nwhich disables the built-in SVG rendering. Firefox 2 helpfully copied this\nsetting, but not the plugin.

For future reference svg.enabled in about:config needs to be true for the\nbuilt-in SVG viewer to be used.
