No More Firefox For Windows Mobile

Posted by timothy on from the no-room-at-the-ecosystem dept.

angry tapir writes "Mozilla has decided to stop development of a version of its Firefox mobile Web browser for phones running Windows Mobile. The reason is that Microsoft has closed the door to native applications on smartphones running its new Windows Phone 7 Series software. More reasoning can be found in a blog post by Stuart Parmenter, director of Mobile Engineering at Mozilla."

    If I buy the phone then why in hell can't I use it.

    Did I only buy a "right to use it"? This is redicolous and should be illegal. I own the hardware and the mega telecom companies are making sure people rent.

    Imagine if we only purchased rights to use things instead of owned them? No homes, products, food, or healthcare. Everything just rented to make some person some more money.

    Screw you and I hope Android is better at this
