The idea with the new embedding API is to provide an easier way to embed Mozilla in other applications. The existing API using XPCOM has quite a steep learning curve for new-comers. We would like to improve this with the new API. This is done by making a new API on top of the existing one, which also helps shield embedders for changes in the underlying API, hopefully making things more stable long term. | The idea with the new embedding API is to provide an easier way to embed Mozilla in other applications.
