Mobile Firefox in the Works
A mobile version of the beloved Firefox browser is in the works -- though don't expect it anytime soon. In a recent interview with APC magazine, Mozilla Foundation CEO Mitchell Baker revealed that a cell-phone-friendly Firefox is a "long-term goal." The hold-up, he says, is implementing Firefox's endless extensions, which let users customize the look and functionality of the browser, and are chiefly responsible for its popularity.
Meanwhile, Firefox's competitors, Internet Explorer and Opera, are quickly establishing themselves as mobile standards – Opera's phone browser even boasts tabbed browsing.
If you can't wait for Mozilla to get its act together, you can see what a mobile Firefox might someday look like with Minimo. Minimo is an unofficial Windows Mobile port of Firefox. It works, but is still pretty unstable at this time.
