==Apps and Add-ons== | ==Apps and Add-ons== | ||
In 2012, Mozilla is making a big push into Apps. "Apps" are standard web technology, but with enough supporting technology to make them integrated better into the user's computing environments (desktops, smartphones and tablets). | |||
The tools that we build for web developers should work easily for Apps, but opportunities may present themselves for helping Apps developers even more. | |||
Firefox Add-ons are in a somewhat similar position. Much of the technology that we have could be "pointed at" an add-on to help debug that add-on. | |||
The current plan for the Add-on Builder calls for the Builder to expand to helping in the creation and packaging of Apps, and to leverage the core source code editing functionality now built into Firefox. The latter change will pave the way for the Builder to integrate well with the rest of the tools suite. | |||
