We have added a whole bunch of things in Gecko and Gonk to support Gaia, which is mainly the front-end. WebAPIs are one example, but we have done much more. Good thing is that this improved the rendering engine of Firefox (that uses the same code base) too.
- hakaaaaak 14y agoFF OS should have full access to the capabilities of the device's hardware and anything that it can discover via bluetooth, whatever it is attached to via USB, etc. as long as someone can take an existing Linux driver, recompile it as needed, and then put it in some FF OS repo (official or unofficial) so that it is easily installable from the device itself. Basically, I want mobile Linux as it exists now, but be able to write and run HTML5 apps to access all of the same functionality. I think if the goal were to make mobile devices as capable as we should all expect but have been conditioned NOT to expect, then that would be an OS that could compete. Otherwise, it is just a slower UI with fewer applications.
