Sure the [OUYA](http://engadget.com/tag/ouya) may have captured the imagination of [indie game developers](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/ouya-and-kill-screen-announce-create-game-jam/) everywhere, but open-source fans will be glad to know it's sparked the interest of Mozilla's [Firefox](http://engadget.com/tag/firefox) team as well. According to an _OUYAForum_ post by administrator Ed Krassenstein, a Mozilla developer had sent him a note detailing the process of bringing the popular browser to the [Kickstarter-funded gaming console](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/09/ouyas-kickstarter-funding-is-complete-over-8-5-million-raised/). The team apparently managed to get it running after some preliminary patches, but it still has a ways to go -- WebGL, Canvas and relevant API support are still lacking. The dev in question has since been identified as mobile platform engineer Chris Lord, who tweeted the revealing picture above along with the note that it's "kinda unusable" for now. Still, they do have around [three months before the console ships](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/09/ouya-console-pre-order/), which could be enough for them to perfect an OUYA version of the foxy browser just in time for launch day.
