After years of sitting on the iPad sidelines Mozilla, the non-profit behind FireFox is set to enter Apple’s mobile browsing world with a product dubbed Junior. This will be Mozilla’s first crack at creating a Web browser for the titan of tablets and it appears the company is opting to build one from scratch rather than provide a different version of their existing product.
The reason Mozilla is eschewing the traditional browser format is the firm believes that mobile Web surfing is different than computer surfing and thus requires a different browser. Junior does away with the familiar tabs and URL bar in favor of a more minimalistic design. The control buttons are ergonomically placed based on how a user would typically hold an iPad. There is also a heavy dose of swipe technology for navigation.
There’s no official word on a release, and Mozilla is on record as saying the current version they have demoed is merely a beta version. However, rumors suggest a Q4 release in time for the holidays.

The Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spiritual leader, has said that the key to transforming the world for the better would be to teach compassion in the classroom. I couldn’t agree more.
When considering many of society’s problems, they often stem from a lack of having the ability to care for each other, to understand each other, to accept that we have different views, and to empathize with each other’s situation (if you doubt my words, watch the next presidential race).
