Mozilla Working on New Mobile Browser
Published October 15th, 2007 in Browser Security, Firefox, Mozilla
After a couple of experiences dipping a toe into the mobile market, Mozilla Corp. said it plans to get serious about developing a mobile browser. Mozilla has recently hired two new developers to help work on the project and plans to release Mobile Firefox some time in the next year or two. The iPhone, Apple Inc.’s popular new mobile phone, in part contributed to the renewed interest in mobile browsing at Mozilla.
"The user demand for a full browsing experience on mobile devices is clear," Mike Schroepfer, vice president of engineering at Mozilla Corp. wrote in his blog on Tuesday. "If you weren’t sure about this before, you should be after the launch of the iPhone." As Mozilla continues to develop Mozilla2, the second version of the platform on which Firefox is built, it will add mobile devices as a category. That means developers of Mozilla2, which is expected to be complete in early 2009, will keep mobile phones in mind as they build the new platform, Schroepfer wrote.
