+pdf.js is a technology demonstrator prototype to explore whether the HTML5
+platform is complete enough to faithfully and efficiently render the ISO
+32000-1:2008 Portable Document Format (PDF) without native code assistance.
+
+pdf.js is not currently part of the Mozilla project, and there is no plan
+yet to integrate it into Firefox. We will explore that possibility once
+pdf.js is production ready. Until then we aim to publish a Firefox
+PDF reader extension powered by pdf.js.
