mozilla and all its children like firefox are written in C++ though the interface is a combination of mozilla's own XUL (a markup language for interfaces) and javascript. Note that javascript and java share nothing but a name

android applications are programmed in the java language but android itself doesn't include a java vitural machine and doesn't actually run java. The java source is compiled into dalvik bytecode which cannot be executed in a jvm

to run on firefox on andriod acer can't just download the linux binary from mozilla. either acer has shipped glibc, gtk, cairo and a few other libraries alongside the standard android libs making it into a much more traditional linux distro or they have built a static version of firefox which runs without any extra pieces. Either way isn't especially complicated thanks to the open source nature of all the bits that go into the linux kernel, android userland and firefox itself.]]>Jun 3rd 2009 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/acer-shows-off-android-on-a-netbook-sneaks-firefox-into-the-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/acer-shows-off-android-on-a-netbook-sneaks-firefox-into-the-pro/Jun 3rd 2009 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/acer-shows-off-android-on-a-netbook-sneaks-firefox-into-the-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/acer-shows-off-android-on-a-netbook-sneaks-firefox-into-the-pro/Jun 3rd 2009 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/acer-shows-off-android-on-a-netbook-sneaks-firefox-into-the-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/acer-shows-off-android-on-a-netbook-sneaks-firefox-into-the-pro/
