XUL video controls in e10s

[Jared Wein]

Greetings,

I have heard that with e10s there is no plan to support XUL within the content process. How does this affect the videocontrols (videocontrols.xml), which are currently implemented using XUL. Or is it OK since the XUL here is implemented as (native) anonymous content?

Is this something that will need to be rewritten in HTML? As it works today, I don't expect it is needed.

Thanks,
Jared

I think we want to discourage the use of XUL within the content process,
but the main issue which I think you're referring to is that we've
mostly decided that popups can't really be supported within e10s in a
good way. I think normal XUL content should be fine so long as no popups
are used.
