Over the weekend Mozilla has announced the launch of a new Mozilla Javascript API they have developed that will debut in their Firefox OS, and has been designed to make it easy for people to pay for digital goods and services on the web.
Mozilla Firefox OS engineer Kumar McMillan unveiled the new Mozilla JavaScript API in a blog post explaining that navigator.mozPay() is based on Google Wallet’s API, but modified for multiple payment providers and, importantly, carrier billing.
“navigator.mozPay() is a JavaScript API inspired by google.payments.inapp.buy() but modified for things like multiple payment providers and carrier billing. When a web app invokes navigator.mozPay() in Firefox OS, the device shows a secure window with a concise UI. After authenticating, the user can easily charge the payment to her mobile carrier bill or credit card. When completed, the app delivers the product. Repeat purchases are quick and easy.”
Firefox OS is expected to launch later this year. For more information on the new Mozilla JavaScript API jump over to the Mozilla website for details.
