Mozilla Working on iPad Mobile Browser
Mozilla working on iPad mobile browser to challenge Safari
Mozilla is developing a new Web browser to challenge Safari on Apple's iPad. The organization behind the Firefox desktop Web browser is working on a new mobile browser called "Junior," according to a video presentation delivered by company's Product Design Strategy team. Junior is an iPad browser that makes browsing more fun, more ergonomic and re-thinks browser user experience from the ground up, the company said on an intro page to the presentation.
In the demonstration, the team explained that the prototype browser fills the iPad's entire canvas and removes the toolbar to give more of a "magazine feel." While they played with the idea of making controls gesture-based, the team ultimately decided to add two buttons, one on either side of the screen. The one on the left acts as a back button, while the one on the right is a plus button that presents users with a list of recent pages, as well as a search screen.
