Loyal fans of Mozilla and its FireFox internet browser who have been waiting for a mobile version should check out this bit of news we just gathered. It's both good and bad news.

The good news is that the FireFox mobile internet browser is confirmed and a date has been set for its release. The bad news is that date is in 2010. At least we’ve got something to look forward to and with that amount of time on their hands, Mozilla should be able to come out with a pretty decent, if not the best, mobile internet browser.

Who knows, maybe they’ll even come up with a version that can outshine and outperform the iPhone’s mobile Safari browser. That is a match-up we’ll all look forward to when 2010 arrives.
