Thinking about it, I don't think I've ever really had a reason to use a slider on a web form. It'd be nice to have, I suppose.
To me implying that "HTML5 isn't a priority for mozilla" because they haven't implemented a really marginal component is quite an exaggeration. I think using bug reports to try to create pressure on developers is in this weird grey area of stuff where it violates some sort of implicit social code of bug reporting. (In short: it's sort of a passive aggressive move)
Having an opinion on what should prioritized is fine, but it should be marketed as such, IE, make it a blog post or write an email or something instead.

I've been dying to have native sliders for ages. There are lots of user interfaces to be made that have nothing to do with databases, CRUD, or social networks. For example, sliders are particularly essential to audio/video/lighting control and media editing UIs.
Yesterday's thinking will only solve yesterday's problems.
Sure. But there's a way to say "this would be awesome to have, here's all the places I could use it" and ask politely versus "I'm going to make a public display of this on a popular news site in order to pressure you into what I want"
