If the 2 Mobile you are referring to are Android and iOS; know that<br class="">
your options are iOS are severely limited as Apple does not allow any<br class="">
browser engine to run except theirs. Our iOS app does not use Gecko<br class="">
for this reason, it has to use WebKit.<br class="">
<br class="">
I don't know if what you want to do is possible on iOS, or how it<br class="">
would be done, but I expect it would be very different from the other<br class="">
4 OSes.<br class="">
