I agree that it's great when we can move to a privileged app. Though if it comes at the cost of a 500ms or 150ms slowdown then that might not be worth it. Another thing that will likely force us to use certified apps for now is Web Components. We are only enabling those for certified apps for now since we want to have freedom to make changes to the spec and the implementation without worrying about breaking other apps or webpages. Can the email app work without Web Components? Either way, I definitely agree that, we should certainly look at reducing those 150ms. But do people really feel comfortable with making that the only plan? Can we make that happen for Gecko 34 (September 1st)? At what point do we start working on a backup plan such as the ones discussed in this thread? / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
