Mozilla head: Firefox OS still “at the crawl stage”

Mozilla’s fledgling Firefox OS is “still at the crawl stage”, despite strong support from a raft of operators and handset vendors, Gary Kovacs, CEO of the company, told Mobile World Live in an exclusive video interview.

Speaking at Mobile World Congress last month, the executive said that with “big sets of commitments” from operators, shipment volumes “in the many tens of millions” are on the cards. “What that translates to in market share I don’t know, but we have to crawl, walk, run, and we’re still at the crawl stage. This is still very early, but definitely exciting,” he said.
