Firefox Mobile only works on certain phones and I know that there are many Nokia users out there that were left disappointed with the apparent lack of device compatibility. No worries, Nokia users that have been ‘sidelined’ can try out other super fast mobile web browsers such as Skyfire (my personal favorite) and Bolt.
