Mozilla is working to bring Firefox to OUYA!

[Eddie K]

Hey guys, I had a brief discussion with a developer from Mozilla today about the OUYA. He informed us that they plan to bring Firefox to the OUYA. Here is what he had to say:

We're investigating what we need to do to make Firefox usable on Ouya. It already works and we have some preliminary patches for gamepad support, but there's still quite a bit of work to be done to make it really usable. Part of this work will be making sure that WebGL and Canvas support performs well on the device, and making sure that the relevant APIs (such as Gamepad API) are also supported

This is good news in my opinion!

Really good news. Although I normally use Chrome on my PC and Dolphin on my Android :P

Great news! I can't wait for it, but personally i prefer Opera. Can you imagine Flash on OUYA? All Flash games on OUYA with controller suport O.o

I highly prefer Firefox (even though lately I've been having some pretty severe graphical issues, esp. with Youtube)
Would love to see it on the OUYA.

FF has been sucky for a few years, even IE is better these days

I use different browsers for different things: firefox for heavy browsing sessions, google chrome when I'm in a hurry and opera on my phone

Looks like Chris Lord of Mozilla posted this picture on twitter this morning:

Awesome, as a Firefox user, I approve this

What version of Firefox are you using?
I might had the same issues when I was using the 64bit (Nightly) version.
Because of those issues they stopped working on the 64bit version, but now they picked it up again.
Just use the 32bit version if this is the case. For the moment it wouldn't matter anyway as browsing only needs 32bit

I use Pale Moon witch is a modified/optimized version of Firefox and I must say it is the most stable browser I have ever used.
I think it is much better than Firefox itself.
But results may vary I suppose.

Thanks for the tip, Sorcerer. Seems to use far less RAM now
