Flash plus Firefox = Tamarin
p2pnet.net News:- Adobe is contributing source code from its ActionScript Virtual Machine Flash Player scripting language engine to the Mozilla Foundation.
The idea is to build a standard scripting language for creating interactive applications for Adobe’s Flash Player and Mozilla’s Firefox browser, say the two companies.
Th work will be handled under a project dubbed Tamarin which’ll, "implement the final version of the ECMAScript Edition 4 standard language, which Mozilla will use within the next generation of SpiderMonkey, the core JavaScript engine embedded in Firefox, Mozilla’s free Web browser," says the new partners, goingon:
"As of today, developers working on SpiderMonkey will have access to the Tamarin code in the Mozilla CVS repository via the project page."
Contributions to the code will be managed by a governing body of developers from both Adobe and Mozilla, they say.

Whereas Mozilla serves the interests of the user, Macromedia serves the interests of the advertiser. I can’t help feeling that they will fight over objectives. Will the user be able to control this, to the point of turning it off? Will the user be able to “view source”?
