    The internet's already had this huge effect on our lives
  • 0:02 - 0:05
    It's changed the way we do almost everything
  • 0:05 - 0:10
    but everything it's done so far still mostly been in this pretty artificial setup of
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    a person sitting in front of a machine at a table.
  • 0:12 - 0:17
    With mobile suddenly the internet can affect the rest of our lives
  • 0:17 - 0:21
    the away we usually live which is and about with people
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    I'm really excited to say that Firefox is now available for Android phones
  • 0:24 - 0:28
    in addition to the Nokia N900.
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    We're really focused on bringing it to the Android platform.
  • 0:30 - 0:37
    We're really excited about that... being able to bring Firefox to a really really large number of users.
  • 0:37 - 0:41
    We can't just assume that because you love Firefox in your desktop you're gonna love it in on your mobile device.
  • 0:41 - 0:45
    We have to make a very compelling browser that is just fun to use
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    and gets the job done quickly
  • 0:48 - 0:52
    I work in a project called Electrolysis
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    its goal is to improve responsiveness
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    so while you're panning and zooming and interacting with the UI
  • 0:58 - 1:02
    the web pages can render and do whatever they need to be doing
  • 1:02 - 1:05
    in a separate process and not slow you down.
  • 1:05 - 1:09
    I work on a lot of things but one the things I am pretty excited about is the multitouch work
  • 1:09 - 1:14
    we're doing which will do things that everyone wants to do like pinch to zoom
  • 1:14 - 1:20
    and we're going to optimize pinch to zoom to work very fast and smooth and also other gestures
  • 1:20 - 1:24
    like back and forward
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    Firefox for mobile is built on the same technology platform as Firefox 4 for the desktop
  • 1:27 - 1:30
    just optimized for mobile.
  • 1:30 - 1:37
    We think we are really excited about the front-end things we have introduced to make sharing easier
  • 1:37 - 1:40
    It should be really easy to find pictures and web pages that you like
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    and easily send them or share them with your friends.
  • 1:43 - 1:47
    One of the other big pieces that Firefox brings to mobile is add-ons,
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    one of very popular features in the desktop
  • 1:49 - 1:52
    So just like on your PC there's many add-ons to choose from
  • 1:52 - 1:56
    you can install and make your browser experience better, or more fun
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    or look the way you want it to look.
  • 1:59 - 2:03
    Firefox for mobile has become even more personalized than ever before.
  • 2:03 - 2:09
    The Firefox start page now gives you tabs from other computers with Firefox Sync,
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    tabs that you had opened the last time you were browsing on your mobile,
  • 2:11 - 2:15
    and even suggests you add-ons that help you get the most out of firefox.
  • 2:15 - 2:21
    This creates a very unique customizable personal browsing experience for each and every user.
  • 2:21 - 2:27
    The Firefox for mobile devices we have great support for HTML 5: we have geolocation, app tabs, local storage,
  • 2:27 - 2:31
    the whole range of features that make ita really powerful development tool
  • 2:31 - 2:36
    and what's best you can use web technology like HTML5, JavaScript, CSS
  • 2:36 - 2:39
    that work across a wide variety of platforms and devices.
  • 2:39 - 2:42
    You get the breadth of the web with all the power of HTML5.
  • 2:42 - 2:47
    If you like Firefox on the desktop we think you'll love Firefox on your mobile phone.
