Hope for Windows Mobile yet, Firefox on Windows Mobile emerge

Firefox Mobile on Windows Mobile is very real indeed, and soon to be out for all of us to try. Reporting an Acid3 Test score of 88/100, the mobile web browser is nearly complete in the screenshots that have surfaced.


The address bar is similar to Safari on the iPhone, but it definitely looks like something from the Firefox 3 family with the addition of website favicons. Screenshots also show a really unique way for web surfers to visualize what tabs are open in Firefox Mobile. Mozilla may be foregoing traditional 'forward', 'stop', and 'back' buttons located in the address bar. Instead, the screenshots show on-page text boxes that indicate these actions.

It might just be enough to make Windows Mobile tolerable.
