CSS Shapes Arrive in Firefox 62: Flowing Text Around Any Shape

Firefox 62 now officially supports CSS Shapes, enabling text and other content to flow around non-rectangular shapes. This article explores how to create shapes using images, gradients, and basic shapes, simplifying the process with the new tools in Firefox DevTools. Learn to use image alpha channels, gradient transparency, and predefined shapes (circle, ellipse, polygon) to control text flow, adjust spacing with `shape-margin`, and leverage `shape-image-threshold` for semi-transparent images. The article also demonstrates combining shapes with `clip-path` for advanced effects.
