Release Highlights
Firefox 22.0 includes WebRTC components, PeerConnection and DataChannels, on by default. PeerConnection allows the Firefox browser to set up real-time audio/video calls, and DataChannels allow browsers to share almost any kind of data (text, video files, html pages) peer-to-peer, either during or outside a video call, for example, by dragging an item into a chat window. WebRTC allows developers to test WebRTC much more widely than before because Firefox users won’t have to enable WebRTC in their preferences.
