Will Firefox work on Windows Phone 7?

more options

I've noticed that 99% of apps or support are for iPhone or DEVICES OTHER THAN WINDOW PHONE 7. Did Windows get left out of the "game" so to speak? All I EVER see is "download the iPhone or Android" version, there's never one for Window's Phone 7. Any input for that?

"Duh" another reason why not to get a Windows phone.

Looks like it was in development, but decisions made by Microsoft put a stop to it.

Well, of course!! Thanks for the link, very informative. If I "read between the lines", it sounds like Microsoft was leery of folks jumping ship from THEIR IE9 and migrating to Firefox (ya THINK?), but that's just MY interpretation of it.

Again, thank you very much for the link, hope your Sunday is treating you well........peace

Hey, gimme a break ;)) We all make screw ups, and I sure did with the Windows Phone, but I've gotten "used to it" (kind of like you get "used to rubbing salt into wounds" ;)) and can "ride out the term of the contract".

So, I've got 9 months to go, I'll see it as a "pregnancy" LMAO  ;)

I didn't mean it like that I just saying WTF Microsoft work with us please so that someone like yourself doesn't have to be stuck with IE I mean I really feel for you I think Microsoft should have either have an apology/incentive for there costumers or they need to change there mind about third party apps. With all that said I wish you the best of luck and goodwill my sapien.

I couldn't agree with you more!!! Trying to understand WHY Microsoft is SO damned "unyielding" is kinda silly these days, especially in the global economy: some "freebies" would be nice from a company/corporation that makes PLENTY in profits to say the LEAST. But, "it is what it is", and we are just along for the ride ;)) You as well, mate ;) (Even my niece said, "Uncle Christopher, IE is SO 2005........"
