Abstract
The smartphone market is steadily increasing all over the world, as such,
most mobile device users are gradually shifting from feature phones to
smartphones, tablets and portable computing devices. However, in emerging
markets, majority of the mobile device users still use their feature phones,
presenting an opportunity for OEM’S and operating system manufacturers to
produce a phone that would suit this market.
Mozilla, the company that popularized the open source browser Firefox, has
developed a mobile operating system. Hopefully, this operating system would
provide smartphones at affordable prices to consumers who cannot afford the
high-end devices that are currently sold on the market. This paper seeks to
explore Firefox operating system to give an in-depth understanding on how
the operating system works.
