I have been reading a little into it. At the beginning both Mozilla and google were interested in pursuing Pepper to resolve the NPAPI "mess". It seems like Mozilla gave up its efforts[1]. PPAPI (Pepper Plugin API) is theoretically open source and free for other platforms to integrate as well but practically it seems to have become a part of the NativeClient[2]. In other words: Firefox would support the NativeClient if it would support Pepper. I guess that is the main reason why they drop the line there. yours Martin.
