Firefox Mobile Comes To Maemo, Other Mobile OS’s Later


Firefox 1.0 Mobile - Weave Sync

The Nokia N900 ushered in the Maemo operating system and now Mozilla, makers of the super popular Firefox internet browser have announced that the Maemo OS is first to receive the mobile version of their browser.

Firefox 1.0, known as Weave Sync, is currently available for download and allows users to sync their desktop computer with their mobile browser, pulling in bookmarks, tabs, history and passwords.

According to Engadget:

Flash support is still somewhat shaky, and does not come enabled by default, though you’re free to flip the switch and ride the lightning as it were.

Thankfully Mozilla actually responds to crash reports and their browsers always improve with each new release. Browsing on the N900 was already great, Mozilla has just managed to make it even better.

    I would use one on iPad or Tablet PC when it gets stable but now – useless.

    If they want to make firefox for mobile devices – do it right! There is no support for Symbian, Apple OS or Blackberry. That is not the firefox we know.

    Opera should come to Maemo as well, since it’s already there for desktop Linux. The Android version is coming too .Firefox is cool and all, I’ve used it for a year or so. But now I can’t switch back to it from Opera. Some things in Opera are just well implemented and work very smoothly…
