Palm is opening up its core and allows C/C++ programming. Mozilla should investigate the situation and try to port mobile firefox to the platform.

WebOS will easily gather 2m users by end of 2010 with good future. Its a good chance for firefox to jump in.

on the influential mobile platform, palm now is most open.

Reproducible: Always
yo dawg i heard you like javascript engines in your javascript engines so we put gecko into palm webOS so you can run scripts and draw web pages while you run scripts and draw web pages

(I like the idea :)
Dave Townsend (Mossop) has the beginnings of a webOS port working:
