silentassassin Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 According to unconfirmed rumors, Sony is in talks with Mozilla over the possibility of porting FireFox over to the PS3. While this sounds promising, obviously there will be a whole lot of security issues to investigate if this browser ever found its way onto the PS3. 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 .

KnackChap Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 chrome has more chance of coming to the ps3 than firefox. both are leagues better than what you have currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dullu Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Mozilla needs a new funding source after google has launched chrome so the talks of mozilla coming to sony's platform make a lot of sense.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulovski Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I wish Opera would be added - it's light and ideal for the PS3. Firefox's biggest asset are the add-ons - I wonder if they will even work on the PS3? On a semantics note - what are "unconfirmed rumours"?

KnackChap Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 google search on XMB youtube support built into PS3 SDK and sony's other deals with google in the PC and mobile segment. if sony ever decide to use a third party browser it'll most certainly be chrome.
