Following our interview with Mozilla Europe president Tristan Nitot, Mozilla has released a concept video of what a mobile browser might actually look like.

The concept shown off by the Head of User Experience for Mozilla Labs on his blog suggests that users will want to get "Every bit of interaction and pixel" from the presentation as well as doing away with typing if possible.

According to the post:

"Many of the standard interaction models, like menus, always-present chrome, and having a cursor, don’t necessarily make sense on mobile."

The concept video according to Aza explains one direction the foundation is thinking.
