Alopex is the project name for our design-based initiative to evolve the overall experience of Firefox OS based on Ignite. Alopex used to be the genus under which the Arctic Fox was included and it's a cool female mutant Arctic Fox from a popular cartoon. | Alopex is the project name for our design-based initiative to evolve the overall experience of Firefox OS based on Ignite.

Alopex is about delivering an open OS that puts Web content first. It is about crafting an end-to-end Firefox experience that: | |||
* Puts Web content in the center of the experience | |||
* Directly addresses the shortcomings of the Web on mobile | |||
* Emphasizes the Web's strengths of immediacy and continuity across devices | |||
* Is centered around simplicity yet puts the user fully in control | |||
* Creates an open platform for participation, and promotes community contribution | |||
This initiative will build on top of the amazing work that has gone into customizations (add-ons), the ability to save/use Web content (Pin the Web), data sync and more. | |||
===Product Requirements:=== | ===Product Requirements:=== | ||
* Discovering great Web content is simple, yet familiar | |||
* Different content types (web apps, websites, etc.) are abstracted away from user | |||
* All Web content is optimized (to the screen size and input method) | |||
* Mobile content barriers (such as installations and re-authentication using the same credentials) are a thing of the past | |||
* Loading Web content is quick and fluid | |||
* Connection issues no longer "break" experience (endless spinners, partially loaded content) | |||
* Users can access their favourite content from any device | |||
* Users feel fully in control over their device and online experiences | |||
* Content is not bound to the scope of specific apps, encouraging interesting new experiences to be created and shared with others | |||
* Community members have a direct channel to offer new experiences to users | |||
