| "Mozilla is working on a project that would make the browser a central repository for a list of all of your interests. Today, the nonprofit behind Firefox argues, many websites offer personalized experiences, “but too often, users unknowingly trade their personal information for this better experience.” Instead of sharing your interest graph with lots of vendors online, Firefox could divine your hobbies and interests by simply looking at your browsing history." - Frederic Lardinois, TechCrunch

| "With the mobile industry now so heavily dominated by Android and iOS, is there possibly room for another contender? That remains to be seen, of course, but Firefox OS has several advantages to set it apart. Not only is it open source and made by freedom-defending Mozilla -- maker of the Firefox browser -- but it's also built on a foundation of cross-platform HTML5... Herein, arguably, lies Firefox OS's potential killer advantage: It's a predominantly HTML5-developed ecosystem. For anyone choosing to develop in HTML5, it becomes one-language-cheap-and-easy to simply shunt an app over to Firefox's marketplace -- even if Firefox OS is a minor player that wouldn't ordinarily get a look-in. Equally important for Firefox Marketplace, the apps stay updated because it's easy -- the developer is already updating for other platforms anyway." - Patrick Nelson, LinuxInsider

| "The nonprofit organization announced an interface that Web sites could use to slurp up information about a user's interests. The idea is to let Web sites customize content and ads according to a user's behavior, but to keep the user in control over what gets shared rather than rely on today's online behavior tracking methods."- Stephen Shankland, CNET

| “Though that may sound like an overstepping of the bounds Mozilla has so strongly defended, the company insists that the ability to select what to share (if anything) with content creators will remain in the hands of the user.” – Melissa Grey, CNET

| "Geeksphone, makers of the Peak+, are now taking preorders for the lava-hot Firefox OS phone... The Peak+ is the more polished version of the early Peak prototype. Today, the company has opened up preregistration for sales, quite possibly to avoid the rapid selling-out of their other models earlier this year."- Jolie O'Dell, VentureBeat
