Since early 2020, firefox has had support for native components, so the demo site should work now!

I think it's just the dialog element still not supported by firefox, that should be easy to polyfill.

I tried to polyfill the <dialog> element under Safari but I gave up because I couldn't make it work inside shadow trees without ugly hacks. I also recall trying the polyfill by Google but it would fail even with the most basic examples.

how much of Xel requires dialog? Could it just be enabled, but with a warning for elements that require it?

There are no Xel elements that would explicitly require <dialog>.

Still, I don't really have the time to deal with Firefox-specific bugs, so even with proper <dialog> implementation I would not support that browser.
