Last beep
Firefox has just entered into smartphone race as an underdog. It may take a couple of years of time for it to evolve and get a market like Android and iOS. Even android is in the limelight when Symbian was ruling the world with Nokia devices. The market goes with the trend. If you are a real techie, you should also learn how to swim against the flow.If you are the one who chose that Firefox mobile among all those reigning androids and iOS’s, you are gutsy one to try out new technologies. You can adapt to any technology faster than those of your friends who would just swim with the flow.
All the best! I wish Firefox bring more charm and magic to the future versions of its operating systems.
