Supported Platforms
Firefox is available for the Nokia Maemo platform on the Nokia N900. Get Firefox for Maemo here.
We’re starting development of Firefox for the Google Android platform. Try out a pre-alpha preview of Firefox for Android.
Earlier versions of Fennec were released for Windows Mobile 6, but we are no longer developing for Windows Mobile. There is also an unofficial port for Palm webOS started by Dave Townsend.
We will continue to investigate and consider other platforms that can support the full Firefox experience. For more information see Mobile/Platforms.
