Service Workers are presently being implemented in Gecko. Biweekly calls (2015-08-12 is the next one) are held on Wednesdays at 8 AM Pacific in the WebAPI Vidyo room to discuss status and blockers for consumers. Email Andrew Overholt [:overholt] if you want to be added to the meeting invite or just show up.

Most people working on the implementation hang out in #content on IRC.

Implementation status

Lots of code has been written and much functionality exists. There are a variety of prefs you can flip in about:config to turn them on: dom.serviceWorkers.enabled, dom.serviceWorkers.interception.enabled, etc.

Filing bugs (in Core :: DOM: Service Workers) describing problems you have is highly appreciated.

An audit of call sites where existing networking security functionality can be affected by a Service Worker's interception is underway. The results of this are filtering into Bugzilla and the remaining blockers are tracked as below.
