Sorry for the OT, but I always get a certificate error when visiting that domain. Am I the only one? http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=hacks.mo... Says the cert is ok, but my firefox complains: hacks.mozilla.org uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for tbpl.mozilla.org (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain) Maybe there is something wrong with my network.

Same error for me (using latest FF on Ubuntu)

You may have TLS 1.0 disabled (Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption > TLS 1.0). Make sure both of those checkboxes (SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0) are checked.

Could that be because of some "transparent" proxy server your ISP uses?

Works for me, btw.

Mozilla nurtured the web with Firefox. This is yet another great project for the Mobile ecosystem.

I always wished for myself and for the larger web community a 'Rock solid web based Open' Mobile Platform. And it is happening fast.

All such advancements are only possible today, as we have faster Javascript engines, can leverage Cloud services, access to cheaper hardware and much faster Internet Penetration and adoption than ever before. The web can function as a strong platform by itself and not a hybrid model.

Also let's not forget the big failure of the over hyped Palm WebOS. Many said - it was too early; not ready for the market. I too agreed then. :) Lets hope Firefox has good design patterns and moves agile.

Couple of things I wish everyone knows -

1. Are all the System level API's ready? Telephone API, Sensor API's et al. It looks to me, its under prototype and design, what's the current stage?

2. Can this leverage WebGL and all HTML5 features?

3. AFAIK, all the front end is around Javascript or some Javascript MVC. Are there any other programming API's?

2. WebGL works fine, HTML5 works fine. This is Firefox's Gecko. Everything that works on Desktop works on Firefox OS.

For 1. and 3., here's the Web API: https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI

Should answer all your questions, I hope
