The internet's already had this huge effect on our lives

It's changed the way we do almost everything

but everything it's done so far still mostly been in this pretty artificial setup of

a person sitting in front of a machine at a table.

With mobile suddenly the internet can affect the rest of our lives

the away we usually live which is and about with people

I'm really excited to say that Firefox is now available for Android phones

in addition to the Nokia N900.

We're really focused on bringing it to the Android platform.

We're really excited about that... being able to bring Firefox to a really really large number of users.

We can't just assume that because you love Firefox in your desktop you're gonna love it in on your mobile device.

We have to make a very compelling browser that is just fun to use

and gets the job done quickly

I work in a project called Electrolysis

its goal is to improve responsiveness

so while you're panning and zooming and interacting with the UI

the web pages can render and do whatever they need to be doing

in a separate process and not slow you down.

I work on a lot of things but one the things I am pretty excited about is the multitouch work

we're doing which will do things that everyone wants to do like pinch to zoom

and we're going to optimize pinch to zoom to work very fast and smooth and also other gestures

like back and forward

Firefox for mobile is built on the same technology platform as Firefox 4 for the desktop

just optimized for mobile.

We think we are really excited about the front-end things we have introduced to make sharing easier

It should be really easy to find pictures and web pages that you like

and easily send them or share them with your friends.

One of the other big pieces that Firefox brings to mobile is add-ons,

one of very popular features in the desktop

So just like on your PC there's many add-ons to choose from

you can install and make your browser experience better, or more fun

or look the way you want it to look.

Firefox for mobile has become even more personalized than ever before.

The Firefox start page now gives you tabs from other computers with Firefox Sync,

tabs that you had opened the last time you were browsing on your mobile,

and even suggests you add-ons that help you get the most out of firefox.

This creates a very unique customizable personal browsing experience for each and every user.

The Firefox for mobile devices we have great support for HTML 5: we have geolocation, app tabs, local storage,

the whole range of features that make ita really powerful development tool

and what's best you can use web technology like HTML5, JavaScript, CSS

that work across a wide variety of platforms and devices.

You get the breadth of the web with all the power of HTML5.

If you like Firefox on the desktop we think you'll love Firefox on your mobile phone.
