Hello,
Ill get to the point- I know how Fennec devs are busy designing ffx5 for android OS. But the dissapointing fact is that there is no Firefox Browser for Bada OS via Samsung Apps. It is my humble request to either make a browser for bada Os from scratch or just make the Firefox for Android compatible for the bada OS . You might want to look up this Project because there are thousands of bada users and most of them are fairly bored of the default browser
OR
just take a look at the bada S.D.K  which is quite intersting and you might be able to develop something out of nothing!
Regards,
Ammaz Khan

Tony, may I have your opinion on this ?
There are not any plans at this time to devote developer resources to this. That being said an enterprising developer may be able to get this to work similar to what was done for the Palm/HP's WebOS. http://www.oxymoronical.com/blog/tag/palm

To make a port of Firefox for Bada one would need to be able to run complied C/C++ code on the device, this is not clear from the Bada SDK if this is possible. If it is possible the next step would be to get the components of Firefox compiling without errors for the device; NSPR, Spidermonkey, XPCOM, then hook in the UI.

Due to comment 2 I will set the resolution to Resolved Wontfix (for now :) )

Thanks for the feedback! Well, I'm fairly dissapointed(not really) but I wanted you to take a look at this.

The bada 2.0 Software update will contain Open Standard: OpenAL and Standard C/C++ which I hope that might help in developing and programming on the bada SDK 1.2. I dont know if this helps. ThankS! :D
bada SDK 1.2.1*
