Firefox OS likely to face HTML5, Boot-to-Gecko process attacks Sep 11th 2013, 13:36 The Firefox OS, a new contender in mobile operating systems, will likely see HTML5-related attacks and assaults on a crucial operating system process, according to security vendor Trend Micro. Some mobile phone operators are already shipping devices with the Firefox OS, which comes from Mozilla, the nonprofit organization behind the Firefox desktop browser.

Firefox OS is geared toward high-performance, low-cost phones running applications using the HTML5 web programming language.
