Implementing PPAPI in Firefox would be a pretty huge task, which is exactly why Mozilla has no interest in doing so. If Adobe provided the patch, they might take it, but still probably wouldn't. They'd still have to maintain that code over time, and the only use for it would be the Flash plugin on linux, since the other platforms still have flash.
