Platforms
As of Version 20, Firefox for mobile is only available for Android 2.2 and above devices with an ARMv6 or ARMv7 CPU. The x86 architecture is not yet supported.
Official support for the Nokia N900 Maemo device ceased with version 7.
An alpha of version 1.1 (1.1 Alpha 1) for Windows Mobile, released on February 19, 2010, is the last build for this operating system. Following the Windows Phone 7 announcement and Microsoft's decision not to release a native development kit, development for Windows Mobile was put on hold. If Microsoft releases a native development kit in the future for its Windows Phone OS, then Mozilla will consider again developing Fennec for the platform.
Tristan Nitot, president of Mozilla Europe, has said that it's unlikely that an iPhone or a BlackBerry version will be released, citing Apple's non-compete application approval policies and BlackBerry's limited operating system as the reasons.
There are no plans to develop Firefox for the Symbian platform.
Mozilla has no plans to develop Firefox for WebOS. An unofficial port to WebOS was made, but is no longer maintained.
An unofficial port is also available for the OpenPandora Handheld.
While desktop versions are not supported, versions for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux are available; these versions are intended as a way to give people who do not have a supported operating system the ability to localize, experiment and build add-ons.

Famous quotes containing the word platforms:
“The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions .... You can argue yourself blue in the face, and you’re not going to change each other’s minds. It’s a waste of your time and my time.”
—Barbara Bush (b. 1925)
“I would rather be known as an advocate of equal suffrage than to speak every night on the best-paying platforms in the United States and ignore it.”
