Initatives

• 60fps
  • Focused on producing a smooth, jank free experiences. 60fps goal is dependant on media type.
• BarrierSmash
  • Insure that accessibility features are working throughout our products.
• Candle
  • Program targeted at reducing energy usage.
• CrashKill
  • Improve the overall stability of Gecko and the project that rely on it.
• CritSmash
  • Fix known critical security bugs.
• Electrolysis
  • This is focused on providing multi processor tab support and another name for e10s.
• Offline
  • Offline Support
• Presto
  • Program targeted at improving overall load times and performance. This is resurrecting an older program that was discontinued.
• MemShrink
  • Reduce memory usage (all products)
• Web Compatibility
  • Improve the overall web compatibility of Gecko.
• Webify
  • Reduce the webs dependence on plugins. This includes several content targeted initiatives such as the games program (Unity), Shumway (Flash), MSE/EME (Flash/Netflix), WebRTC (Google Talk, Facebook Video)
