On all major Linux distributions, and with openstep on Solaris, libtiff is
included. (Which is BSD licensed, if that's a concern).

I didn't see any bug in all of bugzilla that proposed adding TIFF support to
Mozilla. The US Patent Office uses TIFF files for all of their images of
patents, which I ended up having to view source and manually download.

Is there interest in adding TIFF, or is it not a "web format" and considered
bloat? (It's more of a web format then BMP and XBM).

This support might also be very useful to online faxing applications, since
faxes are generally stored as TIFF files.
