Azure The Mozilla Azure project is a stateless low-level graphics abstraction API used in Firefox. The project has several objectives including: more accurate Direct2D compatibility optimized state interoperability improved control over performance characteristics and bugs Azure will provide 2D hardware acceleration on top of 3D graphics backends. Firefox began using Azure instead of Cairo in 2012. It is written in C++ and used by Servo. The Azure name is an ode to the early Netscape founder James H. Clark and his earlier work at Silicon Graphics where workstations were often named after colors.
