Hey all,
I am happy to announce that NPAPI plugin support will end in Firefox 85. At the
start of the 85 cycle the Plugins Team plans to land changes that disable NPAPI
plugin loading and display. We'll also schedule PI testing in both Nightly and
Beta on these changes.
The initial landing is

INPUT_EVENT_RESPONSE_MS should be of pretty good use although you'll have to

We could research using native spell checking apis if the platform supports
them. For example Windows added spell checking apis in Windows 8.

Fixing bugs like bug 884972 would probably help quite a bit. Also posting
patches with checkin info and marking the bug with checkin-needed so the
work lands with other patches. I always try to do this with simple front end

For Windows there is only one window (the main desktop window that contains
the content tabs and chrome) so reparenting probably isn't an option. The
one exception to this is with plugins, which own their own child window, but

We have quite a few issues with touch enabled sites on Windows. [1] Our
support for touch stretches back to when we first implemented MozTouch
events which over time has morphed into a weird combination of W3C touch /

Writing a lot of performance tests creates the problem that those tests
will take a long time to run. The nature of performance tests is that each
test must run for a relatively long time to get meaningful results.
Therefore I doubt writing lots of different performance tests can scale.
