According to Jay Sullivan of Mozilla, mobile Firefox, dubbed Fennec will be available "within days" for the Nokia N900 and later for a wider variety of handsets.
The browser is currently in final testing and should be available by the end of the year.
Most interestingly, Sullivan says the mobile browser will synchronize with its desktop counterpart and any pages open on a user's desktop will open in the mobile version as well.
"At the end of the working day you can walk away from your computer and keep on going on your phone," says Sullivan. "It encrypts all of the information and sends it back through the cloud between your desktop and mobile."
Sullivan says the group is working on a WinMo and Android version as well but that iPhone users will likely never get the browser. "Apple is very restrictive," he added. "As it's a pretty closed platform we don't see that happening soon."
