Apparently Mozilla intends adapting Firefox to the (easy to verify) whish by the market, namely being able COMBINING the power of the Web and App worlds: https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions/Native_Messaging The motives for the true/open Web are noble but the downsides outweigh the advantages, and also leads to unnecessary friction. Using Native Messaging interested parties can for example develop the <keygen> of their dreams. The only problem left is that the Native Messaging concept Mozilla is building on, IMO feels more like a "workaround" than a solution. Since the defenders of the true/open Web do not want to deal with extensions, I guess this is as good as it gets? Anders
