Implications of the Mozilla/Adobe Partnership

Fraggle writes "Recently the Mozilla Foundation and Adobe announced a partnership, working together on the next generation JavaScript/ActionScript JIT Virtual Machine. The Browser Den looks at what this means for the future of scripting in Mozilla, and how this partnership with Adobe may affect Mozilla's support for other technologies such as SVG." From the article: "On the Mozilla side the plan is to integrate to code with SpiderMonkey which is Mozilla's current JavaScript implementation that is written in C. This is needed because Tamarin is not a drop-in replacement for SpiderMonkey as it provides necessary features that are not available in Tamarin. The combined SpiderMonkey with integrated Tamarin should not have any problems with old JavaScript and should show a performance boost for most. However, skilled scripters are sure to find ways of optimising performance to get even more gains."

Oh please oh please can we have Adobe Firefox? I'm just thinking of some awesome features:

* Loads in just a few minutes!
* One year Universal Binary Delay for Macs
* Opening multiple windows brings computer to a crawl
* Free (with a google search for "F1r3f0x s3rialz")
* Various Features cause other Adobe applications to load for no reason. Think: Imageready for everything.
* Memory Resident version updater that bugs you every time you boot up

I'm excited for adobe's entry into the browser market.
