devices and one for touchscreens.01-09-09 05:24 AMLike 0 - Firefox will never be made for the Blackberry.
Mozilla has come out with a mobile browser called Fennec but you will never see that for the Blackberry either. This mobile browser was meant for UMPC'S or Internet Tablets. I have a Nokia N800 and the thing is a dog when running Fennec. You'll be lucky to ever get the program running on a BB.

Ha Ya okay what ever you say... It's being developed now...
Heres a recent article that actually gives you an answer instead of making assumptions:
Mozilla's Fennec heads to Symbian - ZDNet.co.uk
In the same quarter, smartphones from Apple, RIM and HTC (using Google's Android operating system) also took substantial market share, but Mozilla is not planning to port Fennec to Apple's iPhone, RIM's BlackBerry or Android-based devices, Sejersen said.Last edited by Shao128; 01-09-09 at 09:38 AM.
01-09-09 08:58 AMLike 0 - John YesterRetired Superstargeez okay point the fingers.......
I have read the article, and as far as news it's anything else you would read any where.01-09-09 10:15 AMLike 0 -
It was directed at you because you were the one claiming Fennec was being developed for the BB. I was asking you to provide a link to some information showing that this was true.01-09-09 10:27 AMLike 0 - Firefox is great and all, but I would stick with Opera anyways. The speed of opera compared to the other BB browsers is like comparing apples to oranges.01-09-09 10:33 AMLike 0
- Hmmm. One of the articles is from October 8, 2007. The other that mentions firefox and BB is from February 7, 2008. The last one is from October 8, 2008 but only talks about winmo and nokia. Not sure how reliable any of this info is. Don't get me wrong I would love to see a Firefox browser but after reading those articles I'm not holding my breath.01-09-09 11:16 AMLike 0

That I do not have any info of sir. Just what I provided.
The Op asked if FF mobile would ever come out so I passed on some links that he or she may have never seen.
If I ever see any more news I will provide more truth to this mystery.01-09-09 11:54 AMLike 0 - It seems that because blackberry is java it won't be easy to bring over, we can all hope though!
Fennec on Blackberry's? - mozilla.dev.platforms.mobile | Google Groups01-09-09 01:40 PMLike 0 - I hope not. Firefox is one of the biggest frauds ever foisted on a very gullible Internet world.
All it took was to copy a stripped-down Opera browser (tabs years before FF existed) and claim IE was so bad and they were allowed a free pass to roll out the most resource intensive browser on the planet.
Open FF with three tabs at three different standard sites. Check its load in your task manager. Now do the same with IE7. Be fair & use the same tabs & the same sites. Now try it with Opera. Odds are, FF draws more resources than IE and Opera COMBINED.
Then you need to wonder about those extensions. How malware laden are they and how well written are they?
It was proven long ago that FF is, in many ways, LESS secure than other browsers and you want it on BB too?
I have IT people here with engineering degrees & over 25yrs exp and they won't touch FF.
Keep it away from my Berry, please.

I would like you to provide more information to what your trying to explain.... IMO I see no difference and will continue to use FF because it has more features and better operation then opera.01-10-09 12:18 PMLike 0 -
In the end just like the Blackbery Browser vs OperaMini, it comes down to what you need it to do what what each persons own perference is. On my BB I use the BB browser and not OperaMini, on my desktop Ive been using Opera for years01-10-09 12:27 PMLike 0 - John YesterRetired SuperstarOn modern PCs there shouldnt be much differece with Opera and FF. I found though on older slower machines with less ram Opera ran better.

Yes you have a true point that it does depend on what pc your using, but yes most newer ones can handle stuff with out problems/lag but someone with an older laptop(me). Hey it works plus best tablet pc i have ever used. But anyways, when I was using opera I did notice that pages would load faster, but allot of times the pages would not load at all... not sure why. I also couldn't get confortable with the settings and operation of opera.... It could be I didn't give it much time. But the settings, their didn't seem to be much to play with, example open browser with tab pages, but that are refreshed, not the last session that was saved......
But My main point was to point out that FF is secure just like other browsers. I would have to say opera and FF are better then IE with out a doubt.01-10-09 12:36 PMLike 0 -
