Due To The Apple Google Deathgrip, Former CEO John Lilly Says For Mozilla, Mobile Is A Little Scarier

John Lilly at DisruptiOS and Android aren't leaving much room for Firefox to burrow into mobile. "We knew there was going to be a transition from desktop being primary to mobile and tablet being primary" saidMozilla's former CEO and current board member John Lilly today at TechCrunch Disrupt NYC. "What I worry about, the scary part is that for the first time the platforms and distribution are tightly controlledbefore innovation has really started"Lilly explained that Internet Explorer once dominated web browsing and people said "How the hell do you break that?" But Firefox and Chrome came along and now the market is almost evenly split. But Lilly says "mobile'snot like that. Mobile is these tied-down vertical stacks that are controlled by Google and Apple, so we have a new impossible problem to become relevant on mobile."
