==What Are Web Compatibility Issues?==
'''A person should be able to use the Web with whichever device and browser they are using.''' 

Unfortunately, some developers by choice or negligence will make their  Web sites unusable by specific devices or browsers.  We need to '''open up the Web''' to any rendering engines (Blink, Gecko, Trident, etc.) and/or browsers, when used on mobile devices.

There are 4 key problem areas that must be addressed:

# [[UA/UseCases|user agent (UA) detection]]
# specific CSS prefixes (such as WebKit)
# specific DOM/JS/content (such as WebKit)
# Gecko limitations (for Mozilla)

==Goal==

The vague goal for this project is to open up the mobile Web to all browsers.  A specific project goal is being defined by the market insights, product, and project management teams.

===Scope===

;In scope
* Any site with a mobile version
* Any locale

;Out of scope
* Site enhancements 
* Firefox OS or Firefox Marketplace apps
* Issues created by add-ons or ad-blockers

== Get Involved ==

'''Fixing the Web''' will only be successful with the efforts of everyone (Web site developers, Volunteers, Partners, and Mozilla employees). '''Mozilla can't do it alone'''.
