According to Panasonic, Firefox OS will provide better interoperability with HTML5-enabled devices such as Firefox OS phones, and although they don’t mention it, other HTML5-based devices such as future Tizen phones. The well-honed support for HTML5 and other web technologies will also provide better integration with cloud services, including “personalized and optimized access to Web and broadcasting content and services through the Internet,” says Panasonic. Specific features include multiple profiles for different TV viewers within a household.
