Mozilla unveils ambitious mobile plans


Internet company Mozilla has revealed plans to make its Firefox browser work just as well on mobile devices as it does on the internet.

Those using Mobile Firefox will be able to use tools like bookmarks, history, extensions and many other implements usually not found on mobile browsers. Mozilla, which is based in Mountain View, California, has said that it will hire a new team of experts to focus solely on mobile applications for the browser. Mike Schroepfer, Mozilla's vice-president of engineering wrote in his blog on Tuesday, "People ask us all the time about what Mozilla's going to do about the mobile web and I'm very excited to announce that we plan to rock it.

"We are serious about bringing the Firefox experience and technology to mobile devices." Mozilla will be "a great platform" for mobile devices, Mr Schroepfer added. The company released Firefox 2.0 on October 25th 2006.
