Quoting the penguin.swf blog:

what Adobe didn't do:

    * Adobe did not open source the Flash Player.
    * Adobe did not incorporate the Flash Player into Mozilla.
    * Adobe did not license Mozilla's HTML rendering engine.
    * Adobe did not purchase Mozilla, or vice versa.

Just FYI :)

The Wikipedia article says that this should speed up Javascript in
future Firefox releases.
