Did anyone read past the headline?

With the donated code, Mozilla intends to kick off a new open-source project dubbed Tamarin that will eventually become a replacement for SpiderMonkey, Firefox's current JavaScript interpreter.

This is not about making a new flash plugin.

So why do PDF's still render like you're on a 486DX on a C2D 2.0ghz? I never understood how we can have real time cinematic effects on the desktop... and still have to wait for a PDF to load. Maybe they should hand off Acrobat programming to someone else too.

w00t!

Can't wait for a nice flash player for Linux that doesn't suck up colossal amounts of CPU and memory whilst still failing to keep audio sync - heck, I might even see a 64bit native plugin. Granted this is only the ActionScript engine, but it's something that projects like Gnash have been crying out for.

Still, I imagine it's going to take at least a year to rework the code to make it portable enough before they can even start working on the bugs...

I was worried that Adobe would really dismantle the Macromedia suite or at the veyr least, discontinue it. It looks to be the oposite with this move, Here's to hoping it stays strong. Flash is awesome!

Does that mean that the FF Flush plugin may one day not be the monstrous resouce hog we have grown to know and love?

Here's hoping for a not-really-crappy-FireFox-Flash-plugin sometime in the future!

There damn well better be a way to disable it, then. I f'ing hate flash...

The last thing we need is better integrated ads...or more crappy youtube videos.

No way, Very rarely will my entire page be in flash. Those are reserved for specialty pieces like an artists portfolio, a bands website (maybe) or something of personal interest. I usually try to steer clear of flash unless it will really bring something to my site, in which case I use it thoughtfully (nav, loaders, etc).

#3, yeah think of it this way, possible no third party plug-in for flash/shockwave and steamlined for all our health.
