Mozilla, the non-profit organization, behind the popular Firefox browser has released its own version of a mobile Operating System.




The OS is built on HTML5 and is rumored to be faster and lighter than Android and iOS. Firefox devices will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors and target mid-to-low-end of the market and first-time smartphone buyers in emerging markets.

"Firefox OS contains everything you would expect from a smartphone OS, including support for calls, texts, calendar and contacts. It also manages the camera and runs apps, which sit on the screen in a normal grid of icons." says TechWeek Europe‘s Peter Judge
