Eh? I didn't realise it was so radical. My entire involvement with Mozilla and Mozilla technologies over the last 10 years has been building projects on top of XULRunner, Chromeless and B2G/Graphene. This was something which was possible until literally the last month when B2G became tier 3 and XULRunner was removed from the codebase. I'm fine with losing XUL, all I'm really asking for is a simple way to bootstrap an HTML-based project with chrome privileges so I can continue to do what I was hired to do, which is innovating on the front end. Why not use Electron for your project? > That does seem like a more attractive option than forking mozilla-central for every new project I work on, which I think is what you're suggesting. I've been kind of taken aback at the lengths the platform team is willing to go to to prevent the platform being used by anyone. If Mozilla limits itself to just being about Firefox then I think we really will be going the way of the dinosaur.
