Firefox coming to Android OS
Mozilla’s engineer, Vladimir has posted a screenshot of Firefox running on an Android emulator. This means that, a full, add-on capable version of Firefox will soon be coming to Android phones and tablets.
However, there is a lot of difference between running something on an emulator and running the same thing in the actual hardware.
You’ll note that this is the full Firefox interface, and not the Fennec/Firefox Mobile UI; we’re testing with the full interface because it’s significantly more complex than the mobile UI and stresses Gecko much more. So, if the full UI works, then Fennec should work fine as well. Given the interest in Android on netbook and tablet devices, an updated version of the full Firefox UI might find a home on some of these.
