Q: "I use Firefox Nightly, maybe it fixed the issues that are breaking your app?"

A: "If it's using -webkit prefixed CSS, that's pretty unlikely."

There's actually been talk of non-Webkit vendors supporting the webkit prefix. Opera already does, Microsoft and Mozilla have said they need to support it in at least some cases.

"Non-WebKit browser vendors first started talking about implementing the -webkit prefix [in February of 2012] during a CSS Working Group meeting. Microsoft, Mozilla and Opera all said they felt the need to support -webkit, lest their users be relegated to an inferior browsing experience (because so many sites are using only the -webkit prefix)."

Tantek Çelik of Mozilla: "At this point we're trying to figure out which and how many webkit prefix properties to actually implement support for in Mozilla. Currently we have zero. Zero is no longer an option for us."

Florian Rivoal (Opera), Sylvain Galineau (Microsoft): "Zero is not an option for us anymore either."

I hope browser vendors only implement support for webkit- prefixes for now-standard properties (eg. box-shadow), and not for properties that only WebKit implements.
