What’s Java? Android native UI?

  It’s for GeckoView, the embedding API for Android. (I used to work on that team)

  And why Python? Does Firefox come with a Python interpreter?

    Python is for build tooling I think
    • fabrice_d 5y ago
      Correct, the build system is written in Python, with the definitions of rules for each module in files such as https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/library/moz.build https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/library...

    It’s entirely for build and test. No python actually ships with the browser.
