Here's my read on it. In a nutshell, it will make Mozilla's Javascript processing engine a lot faster (I'd be willing to bet considerably faster than IE 7, although I admit that's purely personal conjecture). While it wouldn't be extremely difficult for the Mozilla project to develop an open source SWF player, this announcement really is not about SWF. It's about Javascript processing engines. It means more to Ajax development and similar JavaScript app technology. Less relevant to SWF directly, although it is relevant in that it will help developers who start in the Ajax world easily transfer skills over to Flex/MXML, if and when those developers decide to.
