Instead, we will make our own applications use the same interfaces that we recommend for embedders, in both C++ Gecko interaction and the XUL widgetry that is composed above it. For launching applications atop our platform, we will improve and promote XULRunner, and use it to launch Firefox and our other applications. Over time, we seek to drive the number of "embedding bugs", as distinct from "bugs that break our apps", to near-zero by improving alignment and overlap between those domains.
To further improve the coverage and reliability of our offerings to these developers, the embedding interfaces appropriate to each platform will be built and distributed as part of XULRunner, and therefore Firefox, package. These embedding interfaces include an ActiveX control on Windows, gtkmozembed on GTK-based platforms, and the embedding widget currently provided by Camino on Macintosh systems.
