While it feels as if Firefox is “late” in getting to the point of releasing a mobile version, I’m not sure they are “too late”. Firefox has a strong user base and so if they get features such as synchronisation right then there is a good chance that most desktop Firefox users will adopt the mobile version as well.

Firefox could work the other way around if they do it right.
