Mozilla Firefox is rumoured to be coming to Android Mobiles next month.

Firefox, which is the second most popular desktop browser after Internet Explorer, is already available on Nokia's Maemo platform. The Nokia N900 was the device that prompted Mozilla to develop its software for Maemo first and it features identically to the desktop version.

Firefox is also now in alpha release for Windows mobile, which is a very early release suggesting that the version for Android may launch before it.

The Android operating system is now the second most popular mobile operating system, and with Googles backing and all the press it’s receiving from the Google Nexus One it’s likely to continue making progress on the Symbian platform.

The version of Firefox for Android is likely to be similar to the Maemo version which features touch-gesturing, password manager, download manager and the awesome bar.

The awesome bar enables users to search their bookmarks, browsing history and search history to find something they viewed previously. Brilliantly, it also enables you to search things you visited on your PC, through the use of weave technology.

Once we hear more news we will let you know.
