Mozilla shared the screenshot of the yet-to-be-announced Firefox Launcher on its official blog post and revealed that the Launcher is still in development and will be soon available for beta testing.
The Firefox Launcher is said to offer suggestions and smart searches within the installed apps on the device. For example, the Firefox Launcher during the morning hours will show weather prediction apps and news apps for the start of the day, while in the afternoon the launcher will show apps that are related to a user's work, calendar and recommended apps to find a place to eat. It's worth pointing out that the Firefox Launcher will be filtering apps on the basis of user's searched keywords.
According to the Firefox team:
Firefox Launcher for Android makes it easy to discover the content you want in any moment and is optimized for the way you use your phone. The app integrates the contextual adaptive app search from EverythingMe with the Firefox for Android Web browser to offer users a personalized and customizable Web experience that is fun and intuitive.It will be very difficult to convince Android users to use Firefox launcher over another. It’s hoping EverythingMe’s unique approach will help.
