RUMOR :Sony In Talks With Mozilla

We recently received a tip from a source very close to Sony who says that they have been in talks with Mozilla lately about possibly porting firefox over to the PS3. That said, our source made sure to point out that they were unsure if any deal had actually been reached at this point, but it is great news none the less considering the complaints Sony has been getting about the lack of reliability with their current built in PS3 web browser. Throwing firefox into the mix would give PS3 the ultimate advantage when it came to internet functionality. I know I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for this one, and PSInsider will be sure to bring you any updates to this rumor as they become available.

Why would I need a a PC when i can do all my web browsing on my ps3!, Honestly i could care less.

Not that big a deal, but firefox would be so much better than the current browser.

I post a thread like 2 years ago saying that it would be awesome to have mozilla firefox on the PS3, i think they listen to me :p

Nice, FF would be a great add-on to the PS3.

I'm a PS3 and Mozilla on PS3 was my idea

Pelon208

There I fixed it for you :P

Cool, but I have a dedicatednettop hooked up to my TV so I wouldn't really care about using the PS3 web browser.

I hate to say it, but it's a sad day when SW resorts to threads about Firefox on the PS3. I mean, seriously, is that supposed to be an edge? Like every 360 owner can't have Firefox on their PC? :roll:

It operates at a basic level, but that's about it.

[QUOTE="jalexbrown"][QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] It's just a feature that's being upgraded. Some people really care about web browsers, and Sony may actually be getting the first one on a console that's functional.789shadow

Finally...I have been waiting years for them to make a deal with Mozilla...hopefully it is true.

WTF, Sony should get Internet Explorer instead.

If firefox goes on ps3 I might even buy a keyboard and mouse just to connect to it 24/7, and never turn the console off again lol. Hell I'm using firefox right now, its so much better than IE.

Yea Gecko/Firefox based browser whould be great, check out Acid3 standard support test, current PS3 browser hits 28/100 (if i'm not mistaken) and can't even run Acid2 test.

Also people don't except any PC like customatization and configuration, Java applet support or improved Flash support

The bad thing about the PS3's web browser is that it seems to not be able to execute java script.

I hate that.

Welcome to 2009, this is what happens when consoles are less capable of competing with exclusives. Worthwhile exclusives cost 10+ million to make, implementing something like Firefox is much cheaper.

Film downloads, facebook, it's all looking for ways to differentiate themselves without relying on games.
