Does anyone know if Firefox will be developed for WebOS?

Firefox for Mobile was the best option for me to include my question. I have an HP Touchpad and would like to use Firefox. I use Firefox on my desktop and laptop. It works great.

There was a third-party version for WebOS in past at http://www.fractalbrew.com/

Since you have a HP Touchpad, if you are willing to risk it (should probably wait for more bug free version) there is a way to get Android on this HP TouchPad tablet however it is still Alpha quality. I know Firefox can potentially run on this porting as I have seen a user posting about using Firefox the on his HP TouchPad with Android. For example: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/hp-touchpad

Firefox mobile runs on the Android operating system . There are not any plans to expand support for other operating systems such as WebOS at this time.

kbrosnan: Thank you for the reply. I did know that Firefox is now running on Android os, but I haven't heard much discussion pertaining to WebOS. Maybe in the future someone will deem it worthwhile. Thanks again and Merry Christmas.

Thanks James. I think I'll wait and see how things progress. Hopefully there will be more interest.
