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.

Don't get me wrong I would love to see a Firefox browser but after reading those articles I'm not holding my breath.

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.

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.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com | Well I did you test, an as far as being secure, Firefox is about the same as opera if not better with page loads,rendering, and back end operation. but as for resources........ not sure what pc you using and what tabs your using, but with opera running at 154,073K and with Firefox running 138,556K. looks like Opera is more of a hog..... and this is with the basic versions running no add on's and the same tabbed pages loaded in each browser...
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.

I found though on older slower machines with less ram Opera ran better.
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 years  |

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.

Well done Shao. Those articles had nothing to do with FF being developed for BlackBerry.
