Good morning all,

Moziilla Foundation has always worked to make the Web more accessible to everyone, and apart from Firefox OS, there are other tools such as the Firefox Browser, Firefox Marketplace, etc.Firefox OS, powered by Gecko engine, runs only websites in the form of apps, known as web apps. These apps are built using HTML, the same technology that powers the Web. These web apps will run on many operating systems in addition to Firefox OS. Every operating system (including Android and Windows 8) that runs Firefox browser will be able to run these web apps distributed through Firefox Marketplace.Mozilla has developed Web APIs so that HTML5 apps can communicate with the device’s hardware, which was only possible for native apps until now, e.g. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Camera, etc.

MOZILLA PLANS TO RELEASE THE WINDOWS 10 VERSION OF FIREFOX IN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER TO KEEP USERS FROM JUMPING SHIP TO MICROSOFT'S EDGE BROWSER. 

Mozilla arranges to introduce the Windows 10 form of its Firefox program in August or September, and is now demonstrating what the new program will resemble.

The Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit organization that exists to support and collectively lead the open source Mozilla project.

It owns a taxable subsidiary: the Mozilla Corporation, which employs many Mozilla developers and coordinates releases of the Mozilla Firefox web browser and Mozilla Thunderbird email client. The subsidiary is 100% owned by the parent, and therefore follows the same non-profit principles. The Mozilla Foundation was founded by the Netscape-affiliated Mozilla Organization. The organization is currently based in the Silicon Valley city of Mountain View, California, United States.

This version fixes many bugs, improves standards compliance, and implements many new web APIs compared to Firefox 2.0. Other new features include a redesigned download manager, a new "Places" system for storing bookmarks and history, and separate themes for different operating systems.

FireFox Hello by Tushar Sharma

Firefox Hello, the first global communications system built directly into a browser to help make things easier. Firefox Hello provides more value to Firefox users by making it easier to communicate with your friends and family who might not have the same video chat service, software or hardware as you. It’s free to make voice and video calls and there’s no need to download software, plugins or even create an account. Hello allows you to connect with anyone who has a WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) -enabled browser, such as Firefox, Chrome or Opera.

The features includes:

• Call Options

One of the great features of Firefox Hello is that you don’t need to create an account in order to connect with the people that matter to you most. You simply share a callback link with the person you want to connect with and when they click on the link the call begins.

• Safe, secure, protected

Because Hello is built right into Firefox, you can rest easy knowing that your conversations and information will remain private and secure. And thanks to WebRTC-grade encryption, you’ll enjoy an added level of security.

• Contacts Integration

You can add contacts to your address book manually or import contacts from your Google account to Firefox Hello. Simply select ‘Import Contacts’ from the address book and then sign into your Google account to give permission. If your contacts have a Firefox Account and are online, then you can call these contacts directly from Firefox.

If you login with your Firefox account on your browser then there is no need to share a link or integrate contacts, Firefox Hello sync your data over your devices, just login with google or your Firefox account and start the conversations and share your moments…..
