Project to create this new operating system called Boot to the Gecko or abbreviated B2G. Web-based open operating system is almost the same idea as conceived by the Google Chrome OS. However, if ChromeOS made to the notebook, B2G this project will target smartphones and tablets. As stated by Andreas Gal Mozilla technician who quoted from eWeek, Tuesday (07/26/2011).

Gecko name of the project is taken from Mozilla's layout engine. Say it, Mozilla will build with components B2G Android and Gecko as its main technology.
