HTML5 datalist not working in Firefox 6.0.2 - html

Though, most online resources on HTML5 mention that datalists are supported in Firefox 4 & above, but it does not work with my Firefox 6.0.2.
Also tried the example at http://www.html5tutorial.info/html5-datalist.php.
Does it work only in Firefox 4?
Is there a way to check the support with Modernizr?
Regards,

is there a html5shiv for IE9?

Im using a jQuery horizontal Accordion plugin which relies heavily on HTML5 & CSS3 - in Firefox and Chrome (latest) it works as advertised however, suprisingly IE9 does not begin to render it correctly, a problem i expected with ie versions 8 and below. The code includes an 'if' condition to check for pre version 9 to load a html5 shiv but it still renders IE9 badly (see images). Is there a pollyfill or shiv?? I despise IE with a vengeance, always have, and today i think ill cease developing for it altogether.

What browsers does AngularJS work with?

This can be a most common question. But no any clue about browser versions. More over, Angular site itself says as following.
What browsers does Angular work with?
We run our extensive test suite against the following browsers: the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Safari for iOS, as well as Internet Explorer versions 9-11. See Internet Explorer Compatibility for more details on supporting legacy IE browsers.
If a browser is untested, it doesn't mean it won't work. You can also expect browsers to work that share a large part of their codebase with a browser we test, such as Opera 15 or newer (uses the Blink engine), or the various Firefox derivatives.
— AngularJS FAQ - What browsers does AngularJS work with?
However, there is no any note which versions are supported. I googled, but couldn't find. Any one let me know what browsers and their versions do support which version of angular ?
Browser support of AngularJS:
Internet Explorer: 9+
Versions 1.2 and later of AngularJS do not support Internet Explorer versions 6 or 7.
Versions 1.3 and later of AngularJS dropped support for Internet Explorer 8.
Opera 15+
Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome
As mentioned in a StackOverflow Question here: Which versions of firefox does angularjs support?, since they say which IE version they support and not Chrome, Safari, or Firefox, it's safe to assume all the versions are working.
Version Support Status
Any version branch not shown in the following table (e.g. 1.6.x) is no longer being developed.
Version Status Comments
1.2.x Long Term Support Last version to provide IE 8 support
1.7.x Long Term Support See Long Term Support section below.
Long Term Support
At this time we will focus exclusively on providing fixes to bugs that satisfy at least one of the following criteria:
A security flaw is detected in the 1.7.x branch of the framework
One of the major browsers releases a version that will cause current production applications using AngularJS 1.7.x to stop working
The jQuery library releases a version that will cause current production applications using AngularJS 1.7.x to stop working.
— AngularJS Documentation - Version Support Status
According to AngularJS document:Internet Explorer Compatibility, the answer should be IE 9。
AngularJS 1.3 has dropped support for IE8. Read more about it on our blog. AngularJS 1.2 will continue to support IE8, but the core team does not plan to spend time addressing issues specific to IE8 or earlier.
The project currently supports and will attempt to fix bugs for IE9 and above. The continuous integration server runs all the tests against IE9, IE10, and IE11.

which web browsers (and which versions) implement the autocomplete=off feature?

I have a web form asking for a credit card number. How can I prevent the browser from saving this information?
I see people proposing to use the autocomplete="off" feature.
Which web browsers do implement this feature?
For which versions of those browsers?
I am looking for a trustful public article with this answer, so that I can rely my decision on it.
Also, is there a standard javascript snippet to implement this feature in case the browser does not support it?
note: before marking this question as duplicate, please note that I did not find the answer in those stackoverflow's questions:
Is there a W3C valid way to disable autocomplete in a HTML form? ,
How to prevent the credit-card number field being cached by the browser , https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Securing_your_site/Turning_off_form_autocompletion , http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533032%28VS.85%29.aspx
According to MDN: input element the autocomplete attribute is supported from these browser versions:
Desktop:
Chrome 17.0
Firefox 4.0
Internet Explorer 5
Opera 9.6
Safari 5.2
Mobile:
Android : unknown
Firefox Mobile 4.0
IE Mobile : all
Opera Mobile : all
Safari Mobile : all
This may be 4 years old, but it isn't folly to assume that the versions quoted here and above support autocomplete="off".
Is autocomplete="off" compatible with all modern browsers?

HTML5 meter tag not working in IE10

I am using html5 meter tag it's working fine in Firefox and Chrome but not in IE.
is there any solution apart from Progress bar?
please let me know thank you
To my knowledge, no stable version of Internet Explorer supports the meter element.
Even the Modernizr test suite failed to detect meter in IE10 / IE11 on Windows 8.1.
This perhaps leaves you only with the fallback approaches.

Do any browsers support HTML5's context menu?

Do any browsers support the HTML5 context menu attribute?
This has been added to Firefox 8.
See this for an example of it working https://bug617528.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=554309
Right now, the contextmenu attribute is not supported by any browser version. According to caniuse.com it doesn't have support for any current browser versions (IE 9, Firefox 4, Safari 5, Chrome 11, Opera 11.1, or any mobile browsers - iOS, Opera, or Android). It is unknown if it will be supported in future versions.
It was discussed in April 2010 regarding adding it to Webkit. But it doesn't look like it's been added to the nightlies yet.
According to this wiki page for now there is no any popular layout engine except Firefox's Gecko that fully supports the menu element. Meanwhile, you can try some script solutions, like jQuery Context Menu Plugin.
You can use Modernizr for HTML5 feature detection.
It is working well here with Firefox 9.
Firefox 8 Aurora implements this feature. But unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for me now...
Pretty sure it's supported with a polyfill: https://github.com/medialize/jQuery-contextMenu
