MozillaZine: APCMag.com Interviews Mitchell Baker on Future of Mozilla Firefox

Dan Warne writes: "APC Magazine in Australia has posted an 8,000 word interview with Mozilla CEO Mitchell Baker about where Firefox came from and where it's going. Baker talks about putting Firefox on mobile devices; the Mozilla Foundation's plans to get into open source graphic and video rendering to compete with Flash and Silverlight; where the $55million a year Firefox earns comes from; the struggle with patents in the software industry; that many more businesses are recontemplating moving to Firefox rather than dealing with the upgrade to IE7, and why Mozilla hasn?t yet built an ad-blocker into Firefox. She also talks about how Firefox 3.0 will have a lot more capability around 'branding' — will it be the corporate visual theming disaster that was IE4? And how Mozilla's small development office in New Zealand is developing the ability to run web apps in Firefox without an internet connection. And a cartoon character, 'Foxkeh', which has been created to make Firefox more approachable in the Japanese market." Talkback view original article
