Firefox for Mobile Devices
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
We have several different mobile products aimed at different tasks,
|
|
devices, and audiences:
|
|
|
|
- Building **Firefox for Android** (codename: fenix). Our general-purpose
|
|
mobile browser is split into several different artifact layers:
|
|
|
|
- `The fenix Android application </mobile/android/fenix.html>`_
|
|
- `The android-components Android library <https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/android-components>`_
|
|
- `The GeckoView platform </mobile/android/geckoview>`_
|
|
|
|
- `Firefox for iOS <https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios>`_,
|
|
our general-purpose browser for iOS with desktop sync built-in.
|
|
- Building **Firefox Focus**, our privacy-focused browser for
|
|
|
|
- `iOS <https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-ios>`_
|
|
- `Android <https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/focus-android>`_. This browser
|
|
also uses the android-components library and GeckoView platform, like Firefox for Android
|
|
|
|
For both Desktop and Mobile development, please bear the following in
|
|
mind:
|
|
|
|
- While you can build Firefox on older hardware it can take quite a bit
|
|
of time to compile on slower machines. Having at least 8GB of RAM is
|
|
recommended, and more is always better. The build process is both CPU
|
|
and I/O intensive, so building on a machine with an SSD is also
|
|
strongly preferred.
|
|
- Fast broadband internet is strongly recommended as well. Both the
|
|
development environment and the source code repository are quite
|
|
large.
|
|
- Though you can build Firefox to run on 32-bit machines, the build
|
|
process for almost all of our products requires a 64-bit OS.
