Project Mortar wants Pepper API Flash & PDFium in Firefox

PDFium is the Google open-source project for PDF support in Google Chrome. PDFium was previously closed-source based upon Foxit PDF technology while now it’s been fully open-source since 2014.

The Pepper API Flash implementation is also what’s used by Google’s Chrome web-browser. By switching to the PAPI-based Flash, Firefox would be able to finish getting rid of their NPAPI support with the Firefox Flash support still relying upon it with Shumway and other projects not panning out.
