Yeah, I did wonder today, too.
I tried it in Konqueror, but could not see any pictures. But if I used
svgdisplay, then the picture was shown. And if I was in a directory
in Konqueror and held the mouse pointer over an icon, then I saw a small
preview of the svg image.
As you can read at http://www.croczilla.com/svg/ "Standard Mozilla
builds are not yet SVG-enabled by default."
Either it does not work out-of-the-box, or there is a problem in the
integration with other components.
