6:58 PM EDT 		Does anyone more technically savvy than myself know if it would possible to use a Chrome (or preferably Chromium) browser to d/l the coming Flash Pepper API installation, and then have it work in a Firefox browser? Or will it possible for the FLOSS community to work on a Pepper API Add-on for Firefox?

The only thing I care about is getting this into Firefox somehow.

Me too.

Given that we are dealing with Open Source (at the Chrome end) this should be doable.

So flash in your firefox will be around for quite some time. flash is essentially dying, being replaced by other technologies like html5. I for one will not be sorry to see it fade away, especially for one of its truely crappy applications, web video delivery.
