00:00:04.541 --> 00:00:11.397
We should stop pretending that there are discrete islands of Firefox that exist;

00:00:11.397 --> 00:00:18.690
It's not actually useful to talk about Firefox Desktop and Firefox for phone

00:00:18.690 --> 00:00:22.059
because if you look at the array of devices that are out there, that human beings

00:00:22.059 --> 00:00:25.864
are buying, that are internet connected, that they want to get Firefox on,

00:00:25.864 --> 00:00:27.798
it's a continuum.

00:00:27.798 --> 00:00:31.504
We built Firefox and it succeeded, not beyond our dreams because our dreams

00:00:31.504 --> 00:00:34.733
were pretty gigantic - certainly right to the edge of them and

00:00:34.733 --> 00:00:37.565
I feel pretty good about that, and now hundreds of millions

00:00:37.565 --> 00:00:41.045
of people trust us everyday, and I feel pretty good about that

00:00:41.045 --> 00:00:44.850
and it's a responsibility that a lot of us take very seriously.

00:00:44.850 --> 00:00:53.624
Our job is to get that Firefox means something broader than it's form factor;

00:00:53.624 --> 00:00:58.646
that there's a set of things that make Firefox what it is;

00:00:58.646 --> 00:01:02.147
and we need to start from that. We need to, to think globally

00:01:02.147 --> 00:01:06.314
and then act locally. We need to think about what it is to be Firefox and

00:01:06.314 --> 00:01:09.981
then apply it to each particular platform and both halves of that

00:01:09.981 --> 00:01:12.944
are important. We shouldn't be designing features in isolation for

00:01:12.944 --> 00:01:17.314
desktop or mobile or tablets, we should be thinking about what it is, what it means

00:01:17.314 --> 00:01:21.816
across the entire Firefox spectrum and then, just as important,

00:01:21.816 --> 00:01:26.457
we should understand how that applies to each form factor.

00:01:26.457 --> 00:01:33.564
And this is not easy. Iteration is how we move the web forward day by day, right

00:01:33.564 --> 00:01:37.981
like a lot of the time, the way to prove the platform is to fix the crappy little

00:01:37.981 --> 00:01:40.771
bugs that get in the way of it being truly excellent.

00:01:40.771 --> 00:01:44.647
And we've got to do that, by all means. Because every time we decide

00:01:44.647 --> 00:01:47.397
one of those things is important, we do it.

00:01:47.397 --> 00:01:51.884
When our products individually are great, we feel pretty good about that

00:01:51.884 --> 00:01:58.146
and the PlayStore shows it; but when our products combine into a universe saving force

00:01:58.146 --> 00:02:01.147
[audience laughter]

00:02:01.147 --> 00:02:03.360
purely miraculous things happen.
