Mozilla’s Mobile Browser - Mockups
Mozilla have produced some mockups of their ideas for their mobile browser.

There is a Firefox plugin so you can simulate the browser designed for non-touch screens at:

I’ve been waiting for a Mozilla implementation of a mobile browser, and from what I have seen on the screen shots I am disappointed to see that they have gone down the route of following w3c’s 1 web approach. Horizontal scroll, long pages, and huge download sizes will not appease the user. In order for mobile web to improve, people must develop another version, as PC based and Mobile based have totally different user requirements.
Research needs to be taken up on how to identify a mobile edition of a site, and giving the user the choice. Instead of relying on their input of URL and also third party transcode solutions which in my opinion do a very poor job at moment.

These designs aren’t close to finalize and are a first cut at building something that can test our render on mobile. Also, they are a good strawman to solicit feedback from the community.
