+1 for me. +1 for our company.

It would be a real shame if only one way of extracting
semantics from a
web page were supported in Firefox. If Firefox is serious
about the
semantic web, it would be nice to see support for all the
methods of
expressing semantics on web pages.

Note the recent proposal on creating a unified
representation for
semantic objects (uF, RDFa, eRDF):

http://microformats.org/discuss/ma
il/microformats-dev/2008-January/000410.html

This would make it much easier for Firefox to support
semantics in
pages. It isn't technically difficult to support all of
them, so I see
no reason not to do so.
