Firefox OS for mobile devices is developed on the basis of the project Boot to Gecko , which allows HTML5 applications to access the basic features of the phone, previously available only to native applications.

The platform will be optimized for entry-level smartphones, and with low prices Mozilla expects to strengthen in emerging markets.
