Platform

Mozilla is a major force in the development of the Web’s fundamental technologies. The Web continues to shift. Major additions or changes require significant research and experimentation before they can be brought to fruition. We're willing to take on long-term research projects, even on a speculative basis, to improve existing languages like JavaScript, as well as design work focused on brand new languages. What used to be a passive way for users to navigate linked documents has become an active, living platform where people have persistent, personalized relationships with full-fledged applications — and each other. Our platform projects include making web applications compelling to users and developers as alternative distribution models.
