Goals
The overall goals for Mobile Firefox are:
- provide Mozilla’s standards-based open-source browser engine, optimized for mobile, that can be embedded by device manufacturers and others;
- a full-featured mobile browser including support for XUL-based add-ons, delivering on Firefox’s key principles of ease-of-use, security and accessibility;
- grow the Mozilla community in the mobile space;
- provide tools and documentation to help developers develop, debug and deploy web applications;
- do all of this work in the shared Mozilla source repositories so all platforms, desktop and mobile benefit each other
For more background on our goals please see the following posts:
- Mike Schroepfer: Mozilla and Mobile (October 9, 2007) Mike talks about why it's important that we get into Mobile, and some of our early first steps.
- Jay Sullivan: How open is the mobile Web? From the “mobile Web” to “the Web” on mobile Mobile and the Mozilla manifesto Jay walks us through some more thinking about how we're going to approach mobile, what Mozilla's mission means in the context of mobile devices and how the world has moved from just having a mobile web to a single web.
- Christian Sejersen: Mobile Goals Christian is leading the team work on Mobile and talks very specifically about first steps. Devices we're starting with, who will be doing the work and what our first steps with the code will be.

You should also be able to decide whether you want them stacked, positioned in different ways, optimized for space, etc. | |||
