Mozilla has announced its own adaptive Android home screen based around Firefox.

Wait, an adaptive home screen? That simply means a menu that caters to yout lifestyle, taking app data and locations into account. This particular effort is named Firefox Launcher, which revolves around the mobile browser.

It will customise your web browsing and apps using EverythingMe’s context-sensitive app search.

Beta testing for the software is incoming, but the company hasn’t announced when that will be. Don’t expect many more details on it until then. Does a Mozilla-run home screen sound interesting to you?
