Will Steve Jobs allow a download of Firefox 3 on the 3G iPhone?

It was many months ago now that I moved to Mozilla Firefox on Windows from Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, now days I work on an Apple Mac computer and although I find Safari better than IE it still lacked the add-on applications that you can get with Firefox. Now in the mobile phone world the Apple iPhone is ruling with its ability to browse the web almost like a desktop computer, I have had an iPhone since its release and often browse the web while walking down the street. Come July 11th, the 3G iPhone will be in my pocket.

Will Steve Jobs allow a download of Firefox 3 on the 3G iPhone?

As we reported earlier, Firefox 3 has been released today and I am now using that updated version of Firefox and loving it. Although Safari does a great job on the iPhone, I know that thousands of iPhone owners will want Firefox on the iPhone for the add-on applications that could be developed and as the iPhone is like no other phone for third party apps, surely Steve Jobs will Officially open up the option for an iPhone Firefox download.

The mobile space needs more phones supporting Firefox and even more so the iPhone, if we had to guess then we should reach a point in the future when Jobs will have to make Firefox available on the iPhone as it will never be able to afford to be seen as lagging in the mobile browsing arena. Although that’s assuming that Firefox can get to a point that they give a better mobile browsing experience than the mobile version of Safari.

Do you think a mobile Firefox could do a better job than the current version of mobile Safari and would you want Firefox on the upcoming iPhone 3G?
