Gregg Keizer covers Microsoft, security issues, Apple, Web browsers and general technology breaking news for Computerworld. The company has no plans to create a version of Firefox Home for Android.įirefox Home 1.02 was released last week, and can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store. Mozilla froze development of the first Fennec 4 beta earlier this month. Fennec, which was recently renumbered from version 2 to version 4 to keep it in step with Firefox on the desktop, went public as an alpha preview last month. Mozilla's built-for-mobile browser, called Fennec, will run on Google's Android operating system, putting the company on that fast-growing platform. Srinivasan also said the team might write an iPad-specific edition of the sync application.Īccording to Srinivasan, the company plans to beef up the current Firefox Home for the iPhone with additions such as password synchronization, and possibly new connections to social networking services like Twitter and Facebook that would let users share links or other comments. Rather than dump resources down a black hole, Mozilla yesterday said it would push on with Firefox Home for the BlackBerry and Symbian platforms - Symbian powers Nokia's phones. The thumbs-down for Firefox on the iPhone was no surprise: As long ago as February 2009, the company's then-CEO, John Lilly, said that Mozilla would not develop a browser for Apple's smartphone. Mozilla also relies on its own JavaScript engine, dubbed TraceMonkey. But Firefox is based on Mozilla's Gecko rendering engine, whereas Google's Chrome on the desktop and Apple's Safari on the desktop and the iPhone are based on WebKit.
