A few things:

- currently browser.html runs on top of a gecko runtime (called graphene) which is based on the one we use for FirefoxOS.

- getting gecko to work on gonk is not different from adding support for other platforms like linux/mac/windows/android. Basically you need to provide implementation for low level windowing and input events. On non-posix systems there's a bit more to do in the nspr library, but that's not the case for gonk.

- we already have a port of servo that runs on gonk.

FirefoxOS has been using a 100% html UI since about 4 years, so it has been leading the way here.



Very cool, thanks for the information. I'm obviously more ignorant of Mozilla projects than I even thought.
