Firefox goes mobile

Mike Schroepfer, Mozilla's vice-president of engineering announced that Mozilla is serious about bringing the Firefox experience and technology to mobile devices.

Here is what users can expect:

• Mozilla will add mobile devices to the first class/tier-1 platform set for Mozilla2. This means core platform decisions with mobile devices will be considered "first-class citizens".

• Mozilla will ship a version of "Mobile Firefox" which can run Firefox extensions on mobile devices and allow developers to build rich applications via XUL.

• Mozilla will expand its team of full-time mobile contributors to focus on the technology and application needs of mobile devices.
  

"The efforts in mobile will be magnified by all aspects of our kick-ass community in everything from testing, to UI design, to core engineering. Together we will accelerate the development and use of mobile-ready Mozilla technology", Mike said.
