Open-source software development initiative Mozilla said it plans to introduce a mobile incarnation of its Firefox web browser by 2010. Outlining a series of proposed goals on her LizardWrangler blog, Mozilla Foundation chairman Mitchell Baker writes the group's mobile outlook includes "an effective product in the mobile market" and "[demonstrating] that mobile is part of one, unified, open web," presumably implying that a mobile Firefox will boast a similar look and feel as its desktop predecessor. According to web tracking company Net Applications, Firefox presently claims 19.8 percent of worldwide browser marketshare.
