Mozilla To Offer Mobile Browser

Mozilla, the people who brought you Firefox, is working on a mobile browser — expect it in 2010.

Most people would agree that Mozilla’s done a pretty good job with the Firefox browser. Now they’re setting out plans for the next couple of years, and those include a mobile browser and making their existing products more effective, Vnunet reports.

“There are also other broader goals that Mozilla might take on – proposals to date include education, open source evangelism in general, open everything, assisting online communities with participatory tools,” chairperson Mitchell Baker wrote in a blog.

“These discussions will pick up steam as Mark Surman joins us. Having a set of goals for our product and technology development will also provide valuable input into that discussion.”

While no specific time commitment was given for the mobile browser – Mozilla tends to release software when it’s ready, not according to a schedule, it now seems likely it will be out by 2010.
