Adobe Contributes Scripting Engine to Mozilla




November 1, 2006 — 
In the largest contribution to the Mozilla Foundation since its inception in July 2003, Adobe Systems Tuesday announced it has given over the source code for its ActionScript Virtual Machine and its Just in Time compiler to the not-for-profit organization.

Mozilla will host an open-source project, called Tamarin, that will build out a common scripting engine based on the ECMAScript Edition 4 standard. Mozilla will use that engine in the next generation of its SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine inside Firefox, and Adobe will use it in future versions of the Flash Player.
