Mozilla may have their own operating system to work on, but they know that the eyeballs are mostly on Android these days. Since eyeballs mean money, they’re still all-in with the idea of pushing out their apps and services on our little platform.
Today, at the inaugural InContext conference, they showed what may be their most ambitious idea yet — the Firefox launcher. Branded atop the new EverythingMe launcher which came out of beta today, the Firefox launcher plans to “give people more smart, easy and innovative ways to personalize their Web experience and meet their needs in any context.”
What they’re talking about of course, is content discovery. The contextual engine behind EverythingMe should blend well with Mozilla’s deep hooks into the web, and there’s a good chance this app will stand out in the crowd of new launchers that help you decide what you see on your screen.
Mozilla says they’ll keep us updated while they finish development, and soon we’ll be able to have a go at this one ourselves. We’re always interested in what Mozilla can do, so this one is something we’re looking forward to.
