Mozilla is rolling out Firefox 41 (https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2015/09/22/updates-to-firefox-accounts-and-firefox-hello-beta/) to desktop and Android users and says it's now the first browser to have built-in instant messaging. That feature only works on the desktop version for now, but lets you IM directly from a Hello video call (http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/14/firefox-35-hello-video-chat-update/)whether you're on Windows, Mac or Linux. Because Hello is WebRTC powered (http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/06/opera-android-browser-version-20/), you can chat with Chrome or Opera (http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/06/opera-android-browser-version-20/) users once it's supported on those browsers. If you happen to use Firefox's chat (which Mozilla co-developed with Telefonica) instead of say, Skype, it could come in handy if you're traveling and using an internet cafe.
