Mozilla will add mobile devices to the first class/tier-1 platform set for Mozilla2, the next-generation browser technology due in 2008, Mike Schroepfer wrote in the Mozillazine blog. "This means we will make core platform decisions with mobile devices as first-class citizens. We will ship a version of "Mobile Firefox" which can, among other things, run Firefox extensions on mobile devices and allow others to build rich applications via XUL."
While Firefox has had a persistent reputation of being a "fatter" (i.e., more resource-intensive) browser than rivals like Opera, Schroepfer said that mobile hardware is finally catching up with the software. A Mozilla-based browser has already been released for the Nokia N800.
