We've been working with Mozilla on initial APIs since 2018, when the [libdweb project](https://github.com/mozilla/libdweb) emerged, providing browser extension APIs for many of the primitives a P2P system needs: filesystem access, TCP, UDP and protocol registration and handling. Earlier in 2018 the [ipfs:// scheme was whitelisted in Firefox](https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2018/01/26/extensions-firefox-59/), so now with libdweb we were able to experiment with a proper [ipfs:// protocol handler](https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion/pull/533), which we demoed at Lab Day in August 2018:

Unfortunately, libdweb is still an experimental set of APIs - not included in Firefox yet. We're hoping to see more progress soon from Mozilla on shipping libdweb APIs in Firefox for at least some extensions this year!
