First, can Mozilla integrate PDFium and Pepper Flash in Firefox in a reasonable time frame? Second, does it make sense to integrate those plugins in Firefox? Firefox ships with its own PDF reader and one possible scenario would be to improve it instead of relying on a third-party implementation. Project Mortar raises a couple of questions. With that project dead, the organization announced that it would keep Flash NPAPI support enabled in Firefox even after disabling support for all other NPAPI plugins in 2017. Mozilla planned to integrate Shumway, a Flash replacement into Firefox initially but gave up on the project more or less some time ago. The PDFium system add-on that could get released in the future will support more features including form submission, form input, and other options such as copying, selecting or pasting images or text in documents. The most likely scenario is that they are provided as system add-ons that users may turn on or disable.įirefox ships with a basic PDF reader already. It is furthermore not clear right now how these plugins are made available in the release channel. It is unclear whether work on the implementation began or if it will begin once the PDFium integration reaches feature completion.
