Firefox Mobile

Firefox mobile has a lot of people very exited. There have been very limited options when it comes to browser choice on mobile phones up until a few months ago. Now that Opera has released its mobile browser for almost every cell phone maker out there, Mozilla has responded. The first phone that will currently support the Mozilla Firefox mobile browser is the Nokia N900 running on its hugely successful Maemo operating system. This is Nokia’s latest and greatest phone that is a very powerful mobile computing device. Right now it may be one of the fastest mobile phone processing unites out there.

The Firefox mobile browser has been available since January for Nokia N900 users. However, there are few who are aware of it still.

Mozilla labs have brought many of the fan favorite features to its new Firefox Mobile platform. You will be glad to know that there are some new web browsing magic being brought to the table too. Just watch this video and see what Mozilla Labs has cooking for its Firefox Mobile users.

Why Use Firefox Mobile?

There are many reasons that cell phone users and people with other mobile devices that may run Firefox in the future will be glad to use it instead of the built in mobile browser.  The biggest reason most users will flock to Mozilla Firefox on mobile devices, is because it is the first mobile browser to offer plug-ins. Just like the standard Firefox installation, you will have the ability to customize and add functionality to your Firefox mobile browser by adding new plug-ins.  This is a whole new ballgame for those who browse the web from mobile devices and will be sure to find its way on to many more platforms soon.

Using the new Mozilla “Weave” you can also synchronize your browser with your desktop browser.  This is another great feature that will be another first for mobile browsing.  Mozilla is wasting no time in bringing the big features that mobile users are going to love.

Mozilla mobile will also grab many new users instantly because of its current popularity on desktop systems as well.  This may be one way to force all other browser makers to start catching up and make mobile versions to compete.  However at this time, Nokia has a corner on the market for Firefox lovers.

When Will Firefox Mobile Be Available For My Phone?

Well, right now nobody really knows when Mozilla plans to release its mobile Firefox version on other cell phones and mobile devices.  It would make since that they are already working on some other popular phones.  We expect to see Firefox mobile available on the iPhone and Android enabled phones next.  This would be the most logical step.  Ever since the Smartphone marketplace has exploded, these 2 mobile phone OS’s seem to have excelled.  Until we have the news, you can check on Mozilla’s mobile page for updates on the Firefox mobile browser.
