Firefox games platform

A few months back, Google was planning to turn his browser chrome into a gaming platform....they are still planning on this in order to grab the massive chunk of cloud app market share...

Now in this segment, Mozilla has also stepped in and thinking if gaming platform is apt for its browser Firefox.
As we know,Mozilla has launched his app development project which gives guidelines regarding app development and how developers can run them in Firefox.

Its an open project and other browsers can easily adopt it(if they take it seriously).
You may be aware of the Full Screen API, the Mouse Lock API, the Gamepad API, Websockets and WebRT than can be leveraged for online gameplay within the Firefox window.Moreover the browser id can be used to identify players.Its the first time that Mozilla has thought about making a browser,Firefox in this case,into a gaming platform.

However it still lacks gamepad API(although Chrome has such API) and also it is not as popular among gamers as Chrome.It lacks that buzz which currently chrome owns.
We should notice that Mozilla has such gaming ideas and also Firefox has gained HTML5 capabilities...
if they execute their plannings sooner their strategy can become successful ...
