Rumour: Sony in talks with Mozilla: Possible new web browser on the way?

A posting by PlaystationInsider from an unconfirmed but reliable source has hinted on an alliance between creators of the popular web based browser Firefox, Mozilla and Sony.

Given that the PS3's web browser has had limited success in providing users with the a similar Internet experience as standard browsers have could be the possible reason for this merger.

No definite details on whether this deal has been made or even if any negotiations are proceeding.

That would be sweet if they partnered up.

They should make it that you can go on internet while in-game. That would be even more sweet!

I use - try and use - the PS3 browser all the time. I find it handy to be able to surf the web on my big sreen TV late at night from my bed.
Unfortunately the browser can be and often is a total pain in the @ss when it is constantly freezing or refusing to display pages properly (some websites work poorly and others not at all).
One of the first threads I made at MyPS3 was regarding the weakness of the PS3's browser and two and a half years later there is a glimmer of hope that SONY might actually be dragging the PS3's browser's sorry @ss into the 21st century. Hellelujah!

Though it would be great to have something... anything... better than the built in browser, I would have thought a WebKit based browser would have been a better choice. For those who don't know, that's the basis of Apple's Safari and Google Chrome's browser, and is faster and more standard compliant than Firefox. Also more light weight, which is needed because the PS3 doesn't have huge amounts of memory - that is why it is also the basis of most modern phone browsers instead of Firefox.

Isnt that what everything of the PSN Store is. You can pause, turn off your PS3 and then continue exactly like torrents. I like how you can half download something, turn off your PS3 and then later on turn your PS3 back on and continue where you left of

In your case, I bet what you're torrenting is considered illegal.

There was/is a site you must pay to join that does torrents through PS3 but why bother? just use public libraries or internet cafes.
