The new mobile browser will be able to render full web pages instead of “mobile version” or WAP version. Mobile Firefox will not be available until next year according to TechCrunch.

FireFox mobile will definitely gives the mobile browser market a different perspective on how web pages should render on mobile phone – following Safari’s lead of course.

    Symbian has had a Safari-based browser for what, over a year now? Also, even dumb phones can run Opera Mini, which provides a full web browsing experience that’s faster and uses less bandwidth than either browser, so it’s even usable over a 2G connection. If Firefox comes out with a mobile browser next year they will officially be the last to the party. Not that I will mind… more choices is always better.

    Opera browser for Nokia Internet Tablets has been available for years… rendering normal web pages, including flash too. Something that the iphone is not capable.
