Do you like to build core browsing UI for desktop Firefox? Now you can have both together!</pre><pre> In more detail, <iframe mozbrowser> is now enabled[1] on desktop Firefox. This makes it possible to create frames for displaying web content (similar to a <xul:browser>) from HTML chrome pages. This is the same system that B2G has used for some time to display web content from an HTML UI. (This feature is not available to web content and is not meant to be used there.) This gives us a core building block that can be used to build a fully HTML browser UI. Of course, the existing UI has many XUL / XBL dependencies, but this is at least one step. The DevTools team plans to use this new feature quite soon as part of a refreshed Responsive Design Mode. Additionally, it should make it easier for projects like browser.html to run from unmodified Firefox. By default, <iframe mozbrowser> can't access the storage used by <xul:browser> for cookies and other site data, making it hard to share page state across the two browser frame types. An additional feature <iframe mozbrowser noisolation> has been added, which gives the frame access to the same storage as <xul:browser>. This is only meant for use on desktop Firefox to allow HTML and XUL browser frames to work together.
