Jonathan Nightingale, Mozilla's senior engineering director, was interviewed at the MWC 2012 exhibition. He provided more information about the Boot-to-Gecko (B2G) mobile operating system. The B2G project was first announced by Mozilla in December last November and demonstrated the system to the public at MWC 2012 last month. At present, the Mozilla Application market has begun to accept applications submitted by developers. According to the Roadmap, Mozilla will productize B2G in the second quarter of this year.

Some key points about B2G include:

Boot-to-Gecko devices will be very cheap, about a tenth of the iPhone.

The startup speed of the device is very fast, and the cold start is 14 s.

Developers can view the code of any program at any time.

Reference devices that work with Telefonica will use open-source hardware products.

Programs designed for Mozilla Marketplace are not limited to B2G systems, but can run on any platform that can run Firefox. You can also create independent starters on the Android platform.

There is no plan to provide a service layer structure like NodeJS on WebOS at the moment, but application developers are welcome to come up with their own ideas.
