Pixastic
Pixastic (MPL) uses the canvas element to apply effects to images. The supported effects include blur, noise, emboss, brightness/contrast, desaturate, and noise removal.
The source code is available on GitHub under jseidelin/pixastic. There’s also a photo editor demo that uses the library.
Like many similar libraries, the core of the plugin relies on getImageData from the canvas API.

Forge is a JavaScript TLS implementation. TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a cryptographic protocol for secure client/server communication. Forge currently depends on Flash for sockets, but it could remove the dependency in the future.
The authors have written a detailed background to the library in two parts, including the rationale behind implementing TLS in JavaScript:
