With all the trending new softwares , Mozilla Foundation is trying to catch its fortune by the new Firefox OS. Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit organisation. The Firefox OS is the new Open Source Operating System based on Linux and Mozilla’s Gecko-based runtime engine.
Firefox browser changed the whole browsing community by considering User first and offering a new level of innovation and choice. They now want to do the magic all over again with Firefox OS , while bringing the same superior browsing experience to your smartphone. They wanted an OS that is the complete requirement for the present. They say that they have built the OS from the Scratch which has brought them new ideas.
The Mozilla Foundation is trying to pack your smartphone with the features that made you want a smartphone at the first place. Their store for apps has been named “Marketplace” featuring that there would be all the apps that you look forward.
Special Features:
- It is Linux based light weight operating system.
- Everything inside the OS is Web App including the Dialler and even Games.
- Because it is built entirely using open Web standards, Firefox OS is free and without any restrictions either of already existing platforms.
- Apps are extremely light-weight and easy to run.
- These web apps may run on other operating systems those have either Firefox OS or Firefox runtime browser environment.
- If you are a developer then it’ll get you the better opportunities to write better Web apps for end-users.
For security reasons Firefox OS doesn’t provide full access to Third-party apps outside the Market place(Mozilla’s store). However its several UI and interface things are inspired by Android. Sliding right on the home screen shows the list of installed apps and by just swiping all the way to the left-most screen and you get a search bar.
Its definitely worth a try. 🙂
