As I said in my first email, many browsers implement some kind of thumbnail capability. I'm not very good at predicting whether or not something will be used by authors on the general Web. It would be easy for us to add some Firefox-only or FirefoxOS-only API here, but that seems anti-standards. I'd rather unnecessarily standardize a feature that doesn't get broadly used, than propagate some Firefox-only feature that does get broadly used.
