in 2012, andreas gal expanded on mozilla's aims. he characterized the current set of mobile operating systems as "walled gardens" and presented firefox os as more accessible: "we use completely open standards and there’s no proprietary software or technology involved." (that changed in 2014; see digital rights management (drm), below.) gal also said that because the software stack is entirely html5, there are already a large number of established developers. this assumption is employed in mozilla's webapi. these are intended w3c standards that attempt to bridge the capability gap that currently exists between native frameworks and web applications. the goal of these efforts is to enable developers to build applications using webapi which would then run in any standards compliant browser without the need to rewrite their application for each platform.
