Firefoxos to replace Android to build a new ecosystem

    Beijing Time June 23 News, according to foreign media reports, although Mozilla launched Firefoxos less than two years, based on HTML5 and network technology, the operating system has been used by some smartphone vendors, these vendors include South Korea's LG Electronics, Japan's Sony Mobile communications company, China's ZTE and Huawei. Gongli, senior vice president of      Mozilla mobile devices and Asia business President Gongli, said in an interview that the company plans to firefoxos the perfect alternative to Android in the open mobile operating system.       Below is the summary of this interview:     Q: Can Firefoxos smartphones be considered Mozilla's own branded products, or are they joint branded products with vendors?      Answer: No. Mozilla only provides an operating system and an online store based on Firefoxos applications. China's ZTE, TCL and Huawei, as well as South Korea's LG Electronics and Sony Mobile Communications in Japan, are partnering with mobile operators to launch their own brands of Firefoxos smartphones for sale.      Q: is Mozilla likely to collaborate with OEM manufacturers to launch Mozilla branded products in order to quickly promote Firefoxos smartphones in the global marketplace?      Answer: No. Mozilla wants to attract smartphone sellers and foundry manufacturers to join the Firefoxos ecosystem. If we offer our own branded smartphones, we will be competitors to our vendors, and this conflict of interest will hinder their access to the Firefoxos ecosystem. Even if we offer our own branded Firefoxos smartphones, these products will be used primarily for reference samples rather than mass-marketed products.      Q: Samsung Electronics and HTC, the two leading smartphone sellers in Asia, have not yet cooperated with Mozilla. Is this because they are not very positive about the cloud operating system or is this network environment not yet developed to maturity level?      Answer: Firefoxos is a new operating system. For sellers, whether to adopt and when to adopt is their own consideration. Some sellers will stick to Android and will not choose Firefoxos for the time being. Other vendors want to choose non-Android platforms, but they may not use Firefoxos.      Q: Are they sure to develop Firefoxos smartphones for vendors who develop chrome devices that are also based on cloud and network technology?      Answer: not necessarily. Most vendors will not focus their products on the only operating system, they will consider a second or third platform, including Firefoxos. For vendors using Android, they will choose an alternative platform to look for balance. Some sellers worry that Google could change its Android strategy or support Motorola Mobility in the Future (motorolamobility).      Q: Why have Android vendors been more willing to look for alternative platforms in 2013?      A: Shortly after Mozilla released Firefoxos, Google acquired Motorola Mobility. Since Google's takeover of Motorola Mobility, Mozilla has received more requests from vendors for the adoption of Firefoxos. A growing number of sellers feel that Google has imposed strict restrictions on Android, such as Google last year to ban Acer in the Chinese market launched by Alibaba developed operating system smartphone.      Q: Is Firefoxos enough to attract developers ' attention?      A: It depends on how many Firefoxos devices are sold in the market. However, Firefoxos has two main advantages, first, the application based on HTML5 development is compatible with all platforms, and second, the number of developers using HTML5 technology is much more than the number of developers using iOS and Android technology, the difference is at least 1 million.
