Gecko notes
- The Network API can be disabled using the
dom.network.enabledpreference. - As of Gecko 12.0, the Network API is implemented for Android systems only. Support for Linux (bug 712442) and Windows (bug 721306) systems is in progress.
- Before Gecko 14.0,
navigator.mozConnectionwas not an instance ofEventTarget, meaning that you couldn't useaddEventListener()could be called. This has been fixed.
