Last summer, Mozilla launched an experimental Firefox that supports web-based virtual reality applications that would have to be Oculus Rift. But at the beginning of the week, apps that support the Web version of virtual reality finally landed on the Firefox nightly browser.

The goal of Mozilla is "to promote openness, innovation and access to the Web", so why does Mozilla have to develop virtual reality in browsers? In fact, the Firefox OS user experience Director, Chosh Cabente Josh Carpenter, responded to this question. In a talk last summer, Carpenter said Mozilla knew that virtual reality would "become a real big business", and that the business was truly challenging, and Mozilla liked the challenge. Mozilla believes that all this work will ultimately not only benefit the virtual reality experience, but also benefit the user's web experience.
