Revisiting how we build Firefox
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/firefox-dev/2015-July/003063.html

Mozilla, which develops Firefox, unveiled its vision on the prospects of Firefox in the official blog on July 2, 2015. Among them, the path that Firefox should adopt is represented by three basic values, "Uncompromised Quality", "Best of the Web" (the best on the web), and "Uniquely Firefox (Firefox likeness)" It is being done.


· Quality without compromise
In order to keep the quality of the browser high, Mozilla said that it is continuing development to support HTML 5 video and enhance game performance in Firefox, yet further "to provide Firefox to a new platform called iOS and Windows 10" I am clarifying.

We already have a beta program for Firefox for iOS, and it is finally known that Firefox for iOS is about to appear, but there seems to be certain meaning in the part which corresponds to new Windows 10 correspondence.Metro style Firefox, which was developed for Windows 8 / 8.1, ceased development in March 2014 due to lack of resourcesHowever, there is a possibility that Firefox based on Touch UI will be developed to respond to Windows 10 newly.

· The best existence on the web
Firefox development is proceeding not only by developers who receive compensation, but also by community members who support development without charge. And this support member includes developers of software "addon" which adds functions to Firefox.

Incidentally,Pocket has officially added to the toolbar and bookmark menu in Firefox 38.0.5However, concerning this function integration, there is an opposition saying that some developers violate Mozilla's privacy policy and license policy. Mozilla listens to this opposition and reveals that there is a plan to develop an API that can cross the platform so that add - on production will become easier in the future.

· Firefox 's
It is said that Mozilla thinks "Firefox likeness" as the most necessary element to recruit users to Firefox, but it does not specifically state what kind of measures are actually taken.

However, I directed to Firefox development director Dave Camp's Firefox communityEmail"You should leave good service to keep high quality and bad services truncated." "What you need for a user experience that makes Firefox feel greatElectrolysis (e10s)There is nothing wrong. " Also, another mail has comments on concrete technologies such as "The discussion for removing XUL and XBL from Firefox is an early stage", and there may be a way for Firefox to go from here.
