Mobile Firefox (Fennec) being developed for Symbian
We can't be certain, but we're fairly sure we just heard the remnants of a million celebratory shouts from Symbian users the world over. Mobile Firefox, the promising web browser that just went alpha a few months back, is reportedly well on its way to S60 land. According to Mozilla's Christian Sejersen, the team feels that "in order for Mozilla to be relevant in the smartphone space, it needs to have a presence on the Symbian platform." Better still, the crew has already sparked up conversation with Symbian engineers, and early word has it that an initial release could be but months away. It's cool, you have every right to be thoroughly stoked.[Via UnwiredView]

I just got my Touch Pro with Opera 9.5 and loooove it. I can't believe MS has stuck with the last build of IE for PPC for so long. It does nothing but lock up if you try to load a page with any "real" content. I'm a big FF fan at the desktop level. I'll gladly switch if if they support noscript and adblock plus and other add-ons on their mobile version!

Now can we get FF for the iPhone? It runs on OS X right?

this is good for when I eventually get the Nokia N97.
Firefox is awesome, and should be even more on the new touchscreen Nokias.
