My interpretation is that this is mostly a project for the die-hard users who lost support for niche extensions they really liked when XUL left mainstream Firefox... it reads mostly like they intend to maintain it as a time capsule. "No different from last time" is exactly the main selling feature.
- johannes1234321 8y agoXUL ist not only used in browser Add-ons. There are special purpose desktop applications written using it. This is a project my former employer did some 10+ years ago, but I have seen different other such things. For some time I also used XUL as an UI library inside the browser. Quite powerful and relatively close to native UI which is important for some. https://blog.mayflower.de/64-Is-XUL-the-next-hot-topic-after-AJAX.html https://blog.mayflower.de/64-Is-XUL-the-next-hot-topic-after...
