Mozilla released a presentation of the new OS here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s954fOS9Vz8
Firefox rocks!!
Firefox doesn't even support mp3 or wma in the browser where chrome does. Because most online radio websites use use mp3. & chrome works amazing.People out there reading my comment try & listen to Tunin radio in firefox because it wont work cause forefox doesn't support Audio codecs
My Rooted HC Wildfire S has a 3500mAh battery, 32GB mico sd & over clocked with stock rom & love the phone for long battery life
Firefox OS looks like a iOS with a winterboard theme

I would like to see Firefox OS on Nokia phones :) not exclussive as they do with Micro$oft but as a separate line, for the sake of variety!
I think it will be a really good phone for the price and hardware. Remember, 2 gigs of RAM and 40 cores don't bring happiness. I bet it will actually be 2 steps forward compared to any same-hardware phone with Android. Good luck to Mozilla!
it's announce this Firefox OS is soon to be release.
In the Philippines this phone is 2 people only having this in Mozilla Firefox Philippines and worth 4000pesos=100 U.S. dollars
welcome to os firefox :)
The Firefox OS security model is utterly broken. It's too easy for an attacker to put up a malicious web page to take complete control of a target handset, because the browser is allowed access to all the phone's features. Java, ActiveX and .NET all have similar broken security models.
this is like chromebooks ( chrome os) , really weak, useless, just for web and relying on web, even this one is weaker than chrome os!
I think they want to be under Google's radar. any way good luck :)
If it's more than $120 off contract, it's too expensive. Should be a sub $100 phone outright
These specs are really low end, even for 2 years ago. Ram is very limited
AnonD-6066, 23 Feb 2013Maybe it's low end phone...but there is a trick here....firefox tell ZTE to make this low spec... moreHaven't you seen the camera specs and screen. Low end device.
Sounds like crap for now. Low end device, basic OS features, nothing new, except for some minor tweaks. Guys at mozilla have never really convinced me for innovations. Mostly they copy Opera browser.
One thing i loved with firefox OS is that, it just requires base knowledge on HTML,CSS,JAVASCRIPT and DB. There you can create your own app.
AnonD-77889, 23 Feb 2013Ture, but chrome runs smoother than firefox in general. As for the OS itself, meh. Sick and... moreOn my laptop I agree Chrome blows Firefox out of the water when it comes to speed. But on my Xperia Sola its exactly the opposite...Firefox is fast and Chrome is lag-city.
AnonD-6066, 23 Feb 2013Maybe it's low end phone...but there is a trick here....firefox tell ZTE to make this low spec... moreIt better run VERY well on that hardware then, coz i tested a ZTE Blade two days ago, and white it has more RAM it also has much slower CPU, 600 MHz ARM 11, and Adreno200, and it runs so well. Android really dont require much hardware to run well, low end china android phones are not fast but quite snappy compared to Symbian phones with comparable ARM11 processors.
Maybe it's low end phone...but there is a trick here....firefox tell ZTE to make this low spec hardwre on purpose just to tell us that the firefox OS is a light weight and does not need a high end hardware like android......
