Mozilla creates and promotes open standards that enable innovation and advance the web as a platform for all. Today, hundreds of millions of people worldwide use Mozilla Firefox to discover and experience the web on computers, tablets, and mobile phones. Mapbox is a growing startup founded in Washington, D.C., with more than 500 million users interacting with its technology each month. Despite offering products that compete with Google Maps, Mapbox’s interests in this case concern the bigger picture. Balance and predictability in copyright law are vital to innovation as a whole in the software industry. As a provider of online services, Mapbox is intimately familiar with APIs, providing many such interfaces to its customers. The possibility of copyright protection did not motivate Mapbox to make these interfaces; ease of use for customers did. A Medium Corporation (“Medium”) provides an online publishing platform where people can read, write, and discuss the ideas of the day. Medium's ecosystem connects users with thoughtful, long-form writing by leaders, thinkers, entrepreneurs, artists, 1 Parties’ counsel were given timely notice of amici’s intent to file this brief pursuant to the requirements of Rule 37.2(a). A copy of Petitioner’s letter indicating consent has been filed with the Clerk of this Court. Respondent consented via email to Counsel of Record for Amici. No counsel for either party has had any role in authoring this brief, and no persons other than amici and their counsel have made any monetary contribution to the preparation or submission of this brief. See Rule 37.6. 2 and journalists. About 90 million people read on Medium each month. Patreon is a membership platform making it easy for creators to get paid by their fans. Patreon has sent over $500M to creators since its founding, which is made possible because of the many API- based integrations with its partners to allow creators to offer membership across the internet. Etsy, Inc., and the two million creative entrepreneurs who sell on Etsy, rely on open standards to help make Etsy's marketplace flourish. Etsy’s marketplace connects millions of buyers to sellers from nearly every country in the world for unique, handcrafted and vintage products. Wikimedia Foundation is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco, California, which operates twelve free-knowledge projects on the Internet, including Wikipedia. Wikimedia’s mission is to develop and maintain factual and educational content created and moderated by volunteer contributors, and to provide this content to people around the world free of charge. Additionally, the Foundation writes free and open source software to enable people worldwide to implement wiki-style information exchanges for their own usage. The MediaWiki software that the Foundation develops has been reimplemented by corporations, educational institutions, and government agencies to record and share information. 3 SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT Competition and innovation are two principles at the heart of a healthy internet and the field of software development that fuels it. For decades, software engineers have relied heavily on reuse and reimplementation of functional protocols, such as the Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) in this case, to create competing alternatives to incumbent industry players and new markets for development without fear of copyright infringement. In accord with this Court’s ruling in Baker v. Selden, 101 U.S. 99 (1879), and the plain language of 17 U.S.C. § 102(b) (2012), the software industry has flourished utilizing this approach to make internet and software ecosystems more accessible, affordable, diverse, and robust. By reversing this rule in the context of APIs, the Federal Circuit upended decades of industry practice and the well-established expectations of developers, investors, and consumers. API reimplementation is a common theme among developers of all sizes—from those wishing to create entirely new platforms to those wishing to develop on them. The court below heedlessly unraveled this reasonably predictive rule and set of reliable norms that are critical to software coders for understanding what is appropriate to carry over from one project to another and what is not. This is especially true for individual coders, small startups, or nonprofit software projects, who often lack legal counsel or large financial reserves to

    Olivia Ryan: Can you just state your name? Marcia Knous: My name is Marcia Knous. OR: Just give us your general background. How did you come to work at Mozilla and what do you do for Mozilla now? MK: Basically, I started with Mozilla back in the Netscape days. I started working with Mozilla.org shortly after AOL acquired Netscape which I believe was in like the ’99- 2000 timeframe. I started working at Netscape and then in one capacity in HR shortly after I moved working with Mitchell as part of my shared responsibility, I worked for Mozilla.org and sustaining engineering to sustain the communicator legacy code so I supported them administratively. That’s basically what I did for Mozilla. I did a lot of I guess what you kind of call of blue activities where we have a process whereby people get access to our CVS repository so I was the gatekeeper for all the CVS forms and handle all the bugs that were related to CVS requests, that kind of thing. Right now at Mozilla, I do quality assurance and I run both our domestic online store as well as our international store where we sell all of our Mozilla gear. Tom Scheinfeldt: Are you working generally alone in small groups? In large groups? How do you relate to other people working on the project? MK: Well, it’s a rather interesting project. My capacity as a QA person, we basically relate with the community quite a bit because we have a very small internal QA organization.

  • Security Analysis of Firefox Webextensions
    6.857: Computer and Network Security Due: May 16, 2018 Security Analysis of Firefox WebExtensions Srilaya Bhavaraju, Tara Smith, Benny Zhang srilayab, tsmith12, felicity Abstract With the deprecation of Legacy addons, Mozilla recently introduced the WebExtensions API for the development of Firefox browser extensions. WebExtensions was designed for cross-browser compatibility and in response to several issues in the legacy addon model. We performed a security analysis of the new WebExtensions model. The goal of this paper is to analyze how well WebExtensions responds to threats in the previous legacy model as well as identify any potential vulnerabilities in the new model. 1 Introduction Firefox release 57, otherwise known as Firefox Quantum, brings a large overhaul to the open-source web browser. Major changes with this release include the deprecation of its initial XUL/XPCOM/XBL extensions API to shift to its own WebExtensions API. This WebExtensions API is currently in use by both Google Chrome and Opera, but Firefox distinguishes itself with further restrictions and additional functionalities. Mozilla’s goals with the new extension API is to support cross-browser extension development, as well as offer greater security than the XPCOM API. Our goal in this paper is to analyze how well the WebExtensions model responds to the vulnerabilities present in legacy addons and discuss any potential vulnerabilities in the new model. We present the old security model of Firefox extensions and examine the new model by looking at the structure, permissions model, and extension review process. We then identify various threats and attacks that may occur or have occurred before moving onto recommendations.

  • Mozilla/Firefox: MDN Web Docs, Recommended Extensions and Tenfourfox FPR23 for Intel
    Published on Tux Machines (http://www.tuxmachines.org) Home > content > Mozilla/Firefox: MDN Web Docs, Recommended Extensions and TenFourFox FPR23 for Intel Mozilla/Firefox: MDN Web Docs, Recommended Extensions and TenFourFox FPR23 for Intel By Rianne Schestowitz Created 12/06/2020 - 5:32am Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Friday 12th of June 2020 05:32:58 AM Introducing the MDN Web Docs Front-end developer learning pathway[1] The MDN Web Docs Learning Area (LA) was first launched in 2015, with the aim of providing a useful counterpart to the regular MDN reference and guide material. MDN had traditionally been aimed at web professionals, but we were getting regular feedback that a lot of our audience found MDN too difficult to understand, and that it lacked coverage of basic topics. Fast forward 5 years, and the Learning Area material is well-received. It boasts around 3.5?4 million page views per month; a little under 10% of MDN Web Docs? monthly web traffic. At this point, the Learning Area does its job pretty well. A lot of people use it to study client- side web technologies, and its loosely-structured, unopinionated, modular nature makes it easy to pick and choose subjects at your own pace. Teachers like it because it is easy to include in their own courses. Recommended extensions ? recent additions [2] When the Recommended Extensions program debuted last year, it listed about 60 extensions. Today the program has grown to just over a hundred as we continue to evaluate new nominations and carefully grow the list. The curated collection grows slowly because one of the program?s goals is to cultivate a fairly fixed list of content so users can feel confident the Recommended extensions they install will be monitored for safety and security for the foreseeable future.

  • Internal Message
    Earlier today, Mozilla Corporation CEO and Mozilla Foundation Chairwoman Mitchell Baker sent the following message to Mozilla employees. We are making significant changes at Mozilla Corporation today. Pre-COVID, our plan for 2020 was a year of change: building a better internet by accelerating product value in Firefox, increasing innovation, and adjusting our finances to ensure financial stability over the long term. We started with immediate cost-saving measures such as pausing our hiring, reducing our wellness stipend and cancelling our All-Hands. But COVID-19 has accelerated the need and magnified the depth for these changes. Our pre-COVID plan is no longer workable. We have talked about the need for change — including the likelihood of layoffs — since the spring. Today these changes become real. We are also restructuring to put a crisper focus on new product development and go to market activities. In the long run, I am confident that the new organizational structure will serve our product and market impact goals well, but we will talk in detail about this in a bit. But, before that is the painful part. Yes — we need to reduce the size of our workforce. This is hard to internalize and I desperately wish there was some other way to set Mozilla up for success in building a better internet. I desperately wish that all those who choose Mozilla as an employer could stay as long as interest and skills connect. Unfortunately, we can’t make that happen today. We are reducing the size of the MoCo workforce by approximately 250 roles, including closing our current operations in Taipei, Taiwan.

  • Mitigating Javascript's Overhead with Webassembly
    Samuli Ylenius Mitigating JavaScript’s overhead with WebAssembly Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences M. Sc. thesis March 2020 ABSTRACT Samuli Ylenius: Mitigating JavaScript’s overhead with WebAssembly M. Sc. thesis Tampere University Master’s Degree Programme in Software Development March 2020 The web and web development have evolved considerably during its short history. As a result, complex applications aren’t limited to desktop applications anymore, but many of them have found themselves in the web. While JavaScript can meet the requirements of most web applications, its performance has been deemed to be inconsistent in applications that require top performance. There have been multiple attempts to bring native speed to the web, and the most recent promising one has been the open standard, WebAssembly. In this thesis, the target was to examine WebAssembly, its design, features, background, relationship with JavaScript, and evaluate the current status of Web- Assembly, and its future. Furthermore, to evaluate the overhead differences between JavaScript and WebAssembly, a Game of Life sample application was implemented in three splits, fully in JavaScript, mix of JavaScript and WebAssembly, and fully in WebAssembly. This allowed to not only compare the performance differences between JavaScript and WebAssembly but also evaluate the performance differences between different implementation splits. Based on the results, WebAssembly came ahead of JavaScript especially in terms of pure execution times, although, similar benefits were gained from asm.js, a predecessor to WebAssembly. However, WebAssembly outperformed asm.js in size and load times. In addition, there was minimal additional benefit from doing a WebAssembly-only implementation, as just porting bottleneck functions from JavaScript to WebAssembly had similar performance benefits.

This is a preprint and working version of the paper. Data collections were sponsored from the SNF (100001CL_182630/1) and DFG (MA 2244/9-1) grant for the project “Reciprocal relations between populist radical-right attitudes and political information behaviour: A longitudinal study of attitude development in high- choice information environments” lead by Silke Adam (U of Bern) and Michaela Maier (U of Koblenz-Landau) and FKMB (the Friends of the Institute of Communication and Media Science at the University of Bern) grant “Algorithmic curation of (political) information and its biases” awarded to Mykola Makhortykh and Aleksandra Urman. Running Head: ALGORITHM AUDITING AT A LARGE-SCALE 2 Abstract Algorithm audits have increased in recent years due to a growing need to independently assess the performance of automatically curated services that process, filter and rank the large and dynamic amount of information available on the internet. Among several methodologies to perform such audits, virtual agents stand out because they offer the ability to perform systematic experiments, simulating human behaviour without the associated costs of recruiting participants. Motivated by the importance of research transparency and replicability of results, this paper focuses on the challenges of such an approach. It provides methodological details, recommendations, lessons learned and limitations that researchers should take into consideration when setting up experiments with virtual agents.
