I plan to make FireFox the interface engine, and web services vehicle, for Atmosphericon.  Why?  Because it is designed to be customizable and extensible.  Firefox is far more than a browser.  It is a platform-independent rapid programming platform.  Using it as my base, anyone can quickly script custom functionality for my devices.  Firefox is supported by a vast, creative and dedicated user community.  This community will, once I prove to them that my ideas are worthy, help me grow the Atmosphericon indea into a complex world of as-yet unimagined ambient informatics.

Here is an interesting quick take on the future direction of FF, which suggests that they do realize that extensibility is their strength and that they plan to capitalize further on this.  This is great news for Atmosphericon.
