Please add DNS Service Discovery as a feature to Firefox.

Reproducible: Always




Libraries are available for every major platform (e.g. Apple Bonjour for OS X and Windows and Avahi for Unix-like OSes). Other browsers, such as Camino, Epiphany, Safari, and even IE (with an Apple-provided plugin) support it at a bare minimum for discovering local webservers. In addition, adding DNS-SD support would strongly benefit plugin developers.
