APC Magazine has an intriguing interview with Mozilla Foundation CEO Mitchell Baker on the state of mobile web browsers and Mozilla's plans to develop a mobile version of Firefox.Baker says developers are working on a mobile browser, but says it's a long term goal and nothing users should expect to see anytime soon. While the Minimo project is based on Mozilla, it isn't an official product and it's still a few (dozen) steps behind Opera Mobile when it comes to speed and performance.
Baker says some of the things people like most about Firefox are add-ons and the ability to customize the browser, which are things Mozilla would want to bring to a mobile version. One of the main challenges is bringing the full web experience to a small screen. An experiment, called Joey, is currently underway to look at ways to deliver information to mobile devices.
It'll be interesting to see how a mobile version of Firefox would stack up to Opera Moile, which already includes tabbed browsing, and even some AJAX support.
