With Mozilla's mobile offerings (Firefox for Android and Firefox OS), Mozilla controls only part of the user experience – delivering the products. The other part of the user experience is controlled by the mobile Web content that is available. The current state of the mobile Web is not one of standards compliance but one of user agent (UA) sniffing and Webkit specific functionality. We need to open up the mobile Web to other rendering engines like Gecko, Presto, and Trident.

Mobile Web Compatibility

What Are Web Compatibility Issues?

A person should be able to use the Web with whichever device and browser they are using.

Unfortunately, some developers by choice or negligence will make their Web sites unusable by specific devices or browsers. We need to open up the Web to any rendering engines (Blink, Gecko, Trident, etc.) and/or browsers, when used on mobile devices.

There are 4 key problem areas that must be addressed:

  1. user agent (UA) detection
  2. specific CSS prefixes (such as WebKit)
  3. specific DOM/JS/content (such as WebKit)
  4. Gecko limitations (for Mozilla)

Goal

The vague goal for this project is to open up the mobile Web to all browsers. A specific project goal is being defined by the market insights, product, and project management teams.

Scope

In scope
  • Any site with a mobile version
  • Any locale
Out of scope
  • Site enhancements
  • Firefox OS or Firefox Marketplace apps
  • Issues created by add-ons or ad-blockers

Get Involved

Fixing the Web will only be successful with the efforts of everyone (Web site developers, Volunteers, Partners, and Mozilla employees). Mozilla can't do it alone.
