Check Out Mozilla's Mobile OS Boot to Gecko in Action

SHARE:

Adjust text size:

For many Mozilla equals Firefox, but the organization is working on a lot more. One of the most ambitious projects is Boot 2 Gecko, which is still in the early stages, an operating system based on the Gecko rendering and layout engine used by Firefox, Thunderbird and all Mozilla-related projects.

Saying that making a new operating system, especially a mobile one, is hard is somewhat of an understatement, so it's going to be a while before Mozilla has anything that can appeal to regular users. That is, if it manages to do it at all.

But it's working on it and it already has some things to show off. The team demoed their work so far at a MozCamp Asia and you can check out a rather blurry video of that demo, courtesy of Mozilla Tunisia.
