When we are reading large image data (i.e.: people using webp to stream
video instead of the native webm format; I'm looking at you, Giphy!)
we can run into the situation where the available data is not in a
contiguous buffer, and we need to either buffer additional data or
re-buffer from the start. If we don't do this, we can run into issues
because of buffer over-reading (causing corrupted data if allocated or
more likely crashes if not allocated).
Re-buffering is expensive, but this should be rare and limited to
dealing with unintended use for animated image formats.
This resolves#940.
This repository holds the code for a unified application platform for XUL-based
applications. It is a hard fork from the Mozilla code repository (mozilla-central)
with an ESR-52 fork point.
In addition to further development based on the Mozilla upstream code, and
selective cherry-picking of directly-applicable patches, this repository has its
own development and holds the base for a future platform to be used by XUL
applications.
This repository will contain at least one application to demonstrate and make use
of the platform: The Basilisk web browser, a close twin to Mozilla's Firefox.
Additional documentation
Additional documentation relevant to this source code can be found in the /docs
directory. This will contain relevant documentation regarding contributing,
using and distributing this code and its binaries.
If you are interested in the development and building side of things, some
information will be available on the Pale Moon developer wiki.
