ZDNet UK recently had the chance to play with the first mobile version of Mozilla's Firefox browser.

Mozilla has only rolled the browser out to one handset so far — Nokia's Maemo-based N900, pictured here running the application — but it plans to create versions for the Android and Windows Mobile platforms.

The company is touting the application as the only mobile browser to use add-ons, the functionality plug-ins that are familiar to desktop users of many browsers, including Firefox.

  • Just a quick point, the N900 built-in browser does offer flash (but I normally leave it turned off)
