How is this going to handle updates? Obviously the UI/html5 portion will be trivial to update, but Firefox gets updated every six weeks. Is the system core going to lag behind the rest of the Firefox ecosystem, or ami I going to have to rely on my carrier or manufacturer to push out system updates every six weeks?
I see updates as being crucially important as all the system functionality is exposed as html/css/javascript.
I'm also curious how/if they sandbox the device's browser and still keep within their proposed paradigms. Is a malicious website going to be able to exploit my system using XSS?
I'm curious about this too. The FAQ mentions they will update the core browser like Firefox normally does, but I wonder if that means they also need to update the web browser frontend (written in HTML/JS) at those times as well.
I would also like to find out how this is planned. Ideally a Chrome-style auto-update would be great. The bane of mobile web application development is dealing with the lowest common denominator - developing for multiple Android versions is especially painful. Anything to prevent fragmentation will be a good thing, as we all know carriers won't bother updating very often, unless they have a good reason to do so!
