WebIDE lands in Firefox Nightly

We've gone full circle: Firefox/Phoenix was born as a way to separate the browser from (guess what) html-authoring, email, calendaring etc, which used to be "the same program" aka Netscape Communicator / Mozilla Suite. The split basically killed off most of the orphaned components.

Now Mozilla are busy rebuilding an html-authoring tool and packing it into the browser. I bet messaging will follow.

Messaging is already here. Except it's called the Social Service API.

For example, there are two Facebook Services. You can go (right now) to the Mozilla Social Service Activations Portal, select Facebook Share, and click "Activate now":

https://activations.cdn.mozilla.net/en-US/facebook.html [Requires a Facebook account]

There used to also be a Facebook Messenger Service, but that appears to be gone for some reason:

There's developer documentation here:
