Description

As told by https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/issues/17688#issuecomment-1236463360, BCD doesn't currently support UXP-based web browsers such as Pale Moon or Basilisk.

As new web developer, I rely on MDN and similar places to know, prior to testing, the compatibility of functionalities between different web browsers I use.

This helps to optimize time while developing a web application.

It would be great having them listed in the compatibility table in order to achieve this.
