I'm searching for a list of all the HTML elements supported by Mozilla Firefox. I searched on Google and on the Firefox site and wasn't able to find anything. Does anyone know where I can find them?

As a general statement, Firefox supports the W3c HTML standards. As a result, the best references for that would be:

So basically as of the first version of FF it supported those elements?
What was the first version #?
I'm making a site and want to have a full reference of most used browsers.

Another question... if you go on
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/default.asp you'll see that they have a reference for IE and NN browsers but you see where there is like a blank table cell, is that because that browsers supports that tag since it's first version or if it still doesn't support it?

I'd think that too, except I know thats not accurate. I know that since the first opensource release of Mozilla, it has supported the doctype tag. So, either that chart is totally wrong, or thats not what "blank" means.
Sorry, ask them.

I don't know of a tag-by-tag list of which tags were fully supported, and at which version. As I said,
generally, Firefox supports the standards.

A reference of most used browsers, or most tags, or ??

Sorry I meant full reference of tags for most used browsers.

I wouldn't worry about tags not being supported. I've never found a tag which isn't supported by all modern browsers. I would only worry about it if you must support IE 3 for some reason or if you want to use a really obscure tag.

Thankfully.
Notably, not an official w3c element - a proprietary tag invented by Netscape.
Its evil twin, the marquee tag, however, had a different outcome..

I wonder if you could use something like that to make a version of Frogger...
