Description

Following the example shown in https://lindell.me/JsBarcode/ I used code like this to create a CODE39 barcode:
```

JsBarcode('#BC-Test', 'Test');
```
When running the code, SVG is generated, but Firefox does not display anything:
``
However when I replace ``, this output displays the barcode and text:
``

Research direction

Reproduce the CODE39 example from https://lindell.me/JsBarcode/ in Firefox and compare the generated SVG with the working img output. Trace the browser-facing SVG generation or rendering entry point, then verify that the barcode and text display correctly in Firefox without breaking the existing image output.
