Pointer Lock API implemented in Firefox, game developers rejoice

This will appear in Firefox 14, in around 3 months. Google Chrome implemented this not too long ago.

Given the work being done on seamless browser updates, I'm happy to think of the amount of browser installs that will support this in a year or so.

Many games are simply impossible to implement in a straightforward way without being able to lock the mouse. First person shooters are particularly affected.
