With Mozilla sharing no official news at CTIA Wireless conference 2010 in Las Vegas, the company’s VP of Mobile Jay Sullivan did answer some unofficial queries about the current status of Firefox browser for mobile handsets – the Firefox for Mobile 1.0.

Sullivan specified that Mozilla is actively developing Firefox for Mobile for the Nokia Maemo/MeeGo platform; while the development for Windows phones has been stalled at its fourth alpha stage, and work thereon will be continued only after Microsoft provides a native development kit (NDK).

Meanwhile, with Firefox being available on two Nokia devices - the Nokia N900 and the N810 Internet Tablet -, the wide availability of of the browser’s mobile phone-friendly form appears highly unlikely, as of now.

Nonetheless, Sullivan revealed that Mozilla is also working on a Firefox version for Android OS-based handsets. Incidentally, since Mozilla powers its different Firefox versions – like Firefox for Windows, Mac, and mobile - from a common Gecko engine, the key components of all the versions are the same, including JavaScript, CSS programming languages, and Mozilla’s XUL and HTML.

Sullivan further disclosed that, in tune with Mozilla’s one-for-all programming philosophy, all Firefox browsers will support HTML 5 video tags, which producers can use for encoding their videos with the new standards; thereby allowing videos to play back in Firefox mobile just the way they play back from the desktop.
