Mozilla will also be partner with Turbulenz on the HTML5 Games Category.

"Developers are now looking to technologies like HTML5 and JavaScript for rich, immersive games and we're making sure that Firefox is ready to support them," said Mozilla technical evangelist Rob Hawkes.

"Aside from the browser, we're passionate about engaging with the game developer community to better understand what they want from the Web."
