We will be looking for opportunities to replace such technologies with other existing alternatives, including implementations by other browser vendors.īy Mozilla's own admission, Project Mortar means that Firefox could end up using APIs that are 'not considered web standards'. Project Mortar seeks to reduce the time Mozilla spends on technologies that are required to provide a complete web browsing experience, but are not a core piece of the Web platform. In order to enable stronger focus on advancing the Web and to reduce the complexity and long term maintenance cost of Firefox, and as part of our strategy to remove generic plugin support, we are launching Project Mortar. Senior director of engineering at Mozilla, Johnny Stenback, says: It's starting off with the PDF viewer PDFium, and the Flash player Pepper Flash and it's part of a drive to streamline the development of Firefox. Rather than going to the hassle of coding its own extensions, Mozilla wants to experiment with porting features from Google's browser.
