I believe Mozilla is not really dependent on Google money for that matter. MS is trying to get in with their Bing search engine too.
Re:Geeksphone Peak+ (Firefox OS) Available For Pre-Order on Thursday July 25, 2013 @04:17AM (#6101418)
From the description, there doesn't seem like much difference compared to the Peak, except double the RAM (512MB vs 1GB).

Re:New Firefox Beta for Android with Flash support on Tuesday May 15, 2012 @11:35PM (#3980348)
Finally.. Firefox on Android is fast!

The older version is really painfully slow..

Slow enough to switch to other browsers like Opera Mobile or Dolphin..

Back to Firefox..

Anyway using the Samsung Galaxy S i9000

Re:Ask HN: Linux laptop distro of choice? on Sunday April 29, 2012 @11:48PM (#3907940)
Tried a few distros before. Each has their pros and cons of course. But settled on Fedora now. Using F16 KDE.

Most things work out of the box, except my Broadcom WIFI, which is solved by RPMFusion.

Running stable. Maybe switching to XFCE for lighter resources usage.

Mint looks really good too. Was using Mint 10 before and it looks really slick.
