Mozilla Japan Firefox 2 Release Event

  • Mozilla Corporation COO John Lilly and members of Mozilla Japan
  • Everyone on stage using Macs
  • http://www.firefoxflicks.com/
  • Firefox market share said to be around 16% (25% in Europe and Australia), which strikes me as a bit high, but I guess it depends on who you ask. Their success is obvious, regardless of the actual number.
  • Mozilla has no interest in mobile devices, but Mozilla Japan very much has, and hopes to become a driving force on that segment.
  • Firefox 2 has not actually been released yet, but it is very close, you can get Release Candidate Three now.
  • Firefox 2 includes Sqlite and JavaScript 1.7.
  • Firefox 4 will have JavaScript 2 (and is on the roadmap for 2008), which is probably also planned for IE 8 (for which there is no official roadmap).
  • excellent food (the best this month)
