【问题描述】：
制作 Firefox 插件时很容易覆盖 xul UI，但是 html 文件呢？
我觉得奇怪的是 Mozilla 的某些部分正在使用它，例如 PDF.js 阅读器。与更自然和灵活的 XUL 相比，HTML 有什么好处吗？如果你想给pdf阅读器添加功能怎么办，它是pdfjs/content/web/viewer.html中的一个html文件：

【问题讨论】：
-
客观上它并不更加自然和灵活，您将无法与现有的 JS/HTML 或 DOM 库共享任何代码，或者让您的代码在任何其他浏览器上工作。
-
你说得有道理，但 XUL 是唯一的网络语言，它可以让你制作真正的原生应用程序或窗口，并且具有自然的 vbox、hbox 标签和 flex 属性让您无需了解专家级 HTML 浮动、显示块、边距、宽度/高度百分比 + 像素（不混合）等即可制作灵活的 UI。不能在其他浏览器中工作是 Firefox 的错，它实际上应该在许多最流行的浏览器 Firefox、Flock、Seamonkey 等中工作。
-
您不必说服我 HTML 在这里用于应用程序，而不是用于构建它的文档。然而，生态系统是巨大的。
