Some [[DOM]] APIs have vendor prefixes on them. This page provides documentation on which (partial), why (Mozilla's DOM prefixing policy), and how we transition away from vendor prefixes. | Some [[DOM]] APIs have vendor prefixes on them.

In short: no new DOM/WebAPI prefixes. | |||

When do we implement an unprefixed version of an API? | |||
Requirements for unprefixing a particular DOM API: | |||
# There must be a public specification for the unprefixed version. | |||
# We must make sure our implementation adheres to the specification before supporting the unprefixed version of an API in Gecko. | |||
== Dropping == | == Dropping == | ||
When do we drop support for a prefixed version of an API? | |||
Requirements: | |||
# We must support an unprefixed version | |||
# The web doesn't depend on the prefixed version too much (to be evaluated on a per case basis). | |||
