Firefox OS Will Win Big With Developers - Mozilla

Posted by Unknown on from the netcraft-reports-xul-is-dying-or-something dept.

judgecorp writes "Mozilla's mobile operating system Firefox OS will win overwhelming support from developers because it dropped XUL in favour of HTML5, says the head of Mozilla Europe in an interview. Firefox OS is more open than iOS and Android, and 75 percent of apps are already written in HTML5."

    Or, "Everyone uses HTML5, right? So if we just gut our UI code and write it in HTML5 and tout its HTML5 use enough times on HTML5 news sites and our HTML5 wiki-thing, then we'll get lots of HTML5 fans to use our HTML5 OS. HTML5 HTML5!!!!! *continues to yell 'HTML5' and 'Beefcake' with decreasing coherence*"

    HTML23 was soooo 30 minutes ago. Firefox 143 has HTML25.

    Oops writing this post took long enough that we are now on Firefox 150.

    Firefox OS? Didn't Netscape try to do that with Communicator 4 and fail horribly?

    No and yes.
