Yay! Firefox can now run on #ARMv6 processors! Those of us with old, crappy Android phones can run Firefox as well now! https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2012/11/19/firefox-for-android-now-available-for-millions-more-phones/

@omni Google Chrome can run anything.
-
@omni Do you need to root to use Firefox OS?
-
@bubbyt20000 I'm pretty sure Google Chrome won't run on my device, although I haven't checked. However, I prefer Firefox over Chrome.
-
@omni anything but microsoft explorer.
-
@fortecadenza Well, I was talking about Firefox, the browser, for which you do not need root (can just install it on F-Droid or Google Play). For Firefox OS you will need to install a custom recovery on your phone, because you will be installing a completely different OS on it (that is, if you don't buy a device on which it is pre-installed, but I think those are only coming to Brazil early 2013) :P
-
@omni Oh you were talking about browsers. Nevermind then.
-
@omni When'll they be released in North America?
-
@fortecadenza I have no clue. Mozilla plans to first target the Brazilian market as there is no one dominant smartphone OS, and smartphones are just starting there (in America and Europe, Android is already dominating the market).
-
@omni Oh, ok.
