Mozilla planning Firefox Launcher for Android that is contextually aware
2/6/2014 2:23:00 AM

Mozilla is launching a contextually aware Firefox Launcher for Android, the company announced Wednesday at the InContext Conference in San Francisco. Even though Mozilla has its own mobile OS planned, it wants to take over your Android homescreen in the mean time. 

Mozilla has partnered with and basing its software off EverythingMe, a contextually aware launcher already available on Google Play. Essentially, Mozilla will be packaging its Firefox for Android web browser with EverythingMe's technology for its own-branded launcher.

"The app integrates the contextual adaptive app search from EverythingMe with the Firefox for Android Web browser to offer users a personalized and customizable Web experience that is fun and intuitive," Mozilla announced. It also shared a screenshot of the software. 

The Firefox Launcher will aim to deliver the right apps, contacts and information to the homescreen, at exactly the right place and time. "Whatever a person is into, wherever they are, they'll get personalized suggestions that match their interests and lifestyle," EverythingMe's website states.

Mozilla says the launcher is still in development, and that it will share more information once the software is ready for beta testing.
