Firefox Mobile: Mozilla's loud announcement
Big news: Mozilla developers have announced that they plan to focus on the mobile web and release a mobile version of the popular Firefox browser.
It is known that the world sells 20 times more mobile devices that can provide user access to the Internet than personal computers, and experts predict that inequality will only grow. It is with mobile technologies that the next phase of the development of the Internet is connected - Web 3.0. The creators of the Firefox browser decided not to stay away from the development of mobile technologies and are going to focus on developing a mobile browser, Firefox.
The best part for end users and developers is that the Mozilla developers decided not to abandon the underlying philosophy: Mobile Firefox will allow you to use all sorts of add-ons and extensions that make using Firefox fundamentally different from using the same, for example, Internet Explorer.
')
For all that, one can not fail to mention one negative factor: it is known that the main problems of Firefox users are primarily related to its greed for the computer’s RAM. Judging by the statement on the company's blog , for the mobile version they are not going to solve this problem on their own - instead they decided to rely on the rapid development of mobile devices that are equipped with more and more memory and more and more powerful processors. It seems to me, however, that this is not an entirely correct solution, since it would be much more logical to create a less resource-intensive browser.
As for the timing, the only more or less specific mention of them is the following: "Mobile Firefox will be launched later (definitely not before the beginning of 2008)." In addition, the release of the mobile version of Firefox will definitely happen later than the release of Firefox 3. However, even now owners of Nokia’s N800 phones can use the Mozilla browser, besides, the developers promise that they will surely cooperate with all manufacturers who express a desire to install browsers from Mozilla on their devices now.
But in any case, apparently, this loud statement is nothing more than a “declaration of intent”, the reason for which was the fact that two gurus of mobile technologies joined the Mozilla team. However, about any specific dates, specific characteristics, and even about which platforms will be supported by the browser, there is no talk yet. Apparently, from time to time, companies have to make noise almost without any reason and loudly declare such intentions. But in any case, let Mobile Firefox still have to wait, apparently, for about a year, I hope that the wait will be worth it.
