open svg file with firefox

[lilydjwg]

What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?

Firefox could be used to open an svg file obtained in another application.

How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?

I receive an svg file, possibly with some javascript logic. The best application to open such a file is a browser, but firefox does not show up in the application list that could be used to open it.

Who will benefit from it?

People who receive svg files on their phone, e.g. systemd-analyse plots, flamegraph plots.

I do not think this is a dup. That one deals with local files, which seems to be limited by the Android API. But passing a single file via some cross-app mechanism should be different.

Viewing local content has different security properties than web content. We would need to do a significant audit to enable viewing of local files.
