On Tuesday, Mozilla confirmed that it will no longer develop its Firefox OS, a browser-based operating system for mobile. Computer World reports that after over four years of work to build a smartphone operating system, Mozilla said it will be giving up its goal of offering Firefox OS for mobile.
In a statement sent via email, Mozilla's chief legal and business officer Denelle Dixon-Thayer wrote, "Firefox OS proved the flexibility of the Web, scaling from low-end smartphones all the way up to HD TVs. However, we weren't able to offer the best user experience possible and so we will stop offering Firefox OS smartphones through carrier channels."
PC World said that despite the setback, part of Firefox OS may still be live in some form, as it is an open-source project. Moreover, Mozilla said it will keep its Firefox OS team as they will “continue to work on new experiments across connected devices.”
