Mozilla announced on 9/10/13 that new launches of its Firefox OS (FFOS) smartphones will soon start in different countries around the world. This news follows just weeks after the successful launches of the first Firefox OS smartphones, the ALCATEL ONE TOUCH Fire and the ZTE Open.

Mozilla in its blog post mentions that the new devices will be running the latest version of the OS, FFOS (1.1) but neglects to mention the device vendors and the release dates.

Jay Sullivan, Mozilla's Chief Operating Officer believes the positive market reception of the first Firefox OS smartphones with Telefonica in Spain, Columbia, Venezuela and Deutsche Telekom in Poland demonstrates that people like the user experience and openness they’re building with Firefox OS.

The HTML 5 based OS which was launched as an alternative to Google's Android will be launched in Brazil and 3 other Latin American countries under Telefonica.

Thomas Kiessling, Deutsche Telekom's Chief Product and Innovation officer stated that "We are now excited about the upcoming sales start for our congstar customers in Germany. And we will bring the first devices to Greece and Hungary soon.” A third mobile provider, Telenor, is expected to launch Firefox OS devices in Hungary, Serbia and Montenegro by the end of the year.

Mozilla is currently working on the FFOS with more than 20 hardware and operator partners to deliver a better and more attainable smartphone experience to the 21 percent of global mobile subscribers using smartphones.
