There are several -moz-prefixed XUL-specific display values exposed to web content, which are not speced properly, and we do not have enough test coverage on them with other features either. Exposing them could cause compatibility issues e.g. bug 1288472. We should exclude them from display ktable when parsing CSS for web content.
I guess we should make `display` use parsing function, rather than keeping it in the normal keyword path and hacking in the normal path like what we are currently doing.
Thanks for filing this. (Along with display:-moz-box, I expect XUL's "display:-moz-grid" to inadvertantly cause compat problems similar to bug 1288472, as modern CSS grid gets enabled & it gains mindshare, and as authors ask for it in the wrong way, & with declarations in the wrong order)
I wonder how much we might break, for old sites using display: -moz-box, but without a display: flex. But maybe our webkit flexy display aliases let us get away with it?
Is -moz-box ever expected to work in web content? I don't believe so... I think they are used just because people see there is something with that name, and they think it is the Mozilla version of -webkit-box...
> Is -moz-box ever expected to work in web content? I don't believe so... I think they are used just because people see there is something with that name, and they think it is the Mozilla version of -webkit-box... Yeah, I agree that's probably the reasoning so many people included it. But I suspect there's enough content like the following (crappy first example I found on GitHub search): https://github.com/obashtovoj/5course/blob/a958f8d34e1dd9b2e514ca142722418f77dd8a59/Web-programming/HTML5/HTML5/PropertiesOfFlexibleBoxModel/2_46.css Now, if we removed -moz-box support, the -webkit-box alias stuff would kick in and nothing would break. But I wouldn't be surprised by sites doing UA sniffing to only serve old -moz-box. (Of course, this is just paranoid speculation. We could implement it behind a pref and surf the web and see what happens.)

As I said in bug 914360, I think we can unexpose the following values: -moz-grid -moz-inline-grid -moz-grid-group -moz-grid-line -moz-stack -moz-inline-stack -moz-deck -moz-popup -moz-groupbox I'm less sure about -moz-box / -moz-inline-box though. I suggest we wait with those and gather some telemetry about their use.

Well, I guess it's the right call, and reduces the risk of unshipping the other values. Looks fine to do this for now :)

Also, we should probably have comment on `parser::Parse` stating that the trait can be derived for some types, and it uses css attributes and it has extra attribute to control the condition.

I bet rustfmt doesn't like this.

When we eventually remove that pref and unship the values completely, this test can probably be removed as well.

Per that reasoning, we should probably also move `aliases` to this new attribute. If you agree on moving both, mind if I do it as a followup bug?

Browser compat data is updated for this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/::selection#Browser_compatibility and I think that's all the doc update needed here, but please let me know if we need anything else.
Sorry, wrong bug :/. Anyway, ExE-Boss updated the docs for this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display#XUL_values so I think this one is also dev-doc-complete.
The Browser Compatibility table fix is however still pending in https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/1955.
