If there’s one thing you can say about the corporate strategy of Mozilla it is that it is adaptive. That flexibility has allowed the company to survive and thrive, hanging its hat on various operating systems and winning fans with its Firefox web browser.
According to Mozilla, the company is developing Firefox to operate with Microsoft’s new touch screen interface Windows 8, formerly Metro. Shrewd move.
The version comes from Firefox Nightly, featuring products the company has developed and are in testing stage, and is still a “work in progress,” according to the company. Firefox Nightly’s Twitter page provided a link to screenshots of the browser in testing.
Emerging from the wreckage of Netscape following the Browser Wars of the late 1990s, Mozilla’s standalone browser, Firefox, commands about 20 percent of worldwide market share, the majority held by Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Mozilla’s browser operates on mobile and PC, functions on Android and OS.
