Goals
The overall goals for Mobile Firefox are:
- Bringing Firefox to mobile phones is the next step towards fulfilling Mozilla’s mission of providing access to one Web that everyone can access, regardless of device or location
- Using the latest Web technologies like HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, provide a rich platform for developers to create compelling content and innovative applications
- Deliver an exceptional mobile experience to users, complete with the performance, personalization and security you expect
- Do all of this work in the shared Mozilla source repositories so all platforms, desktop and mobile, benefit each other
