iPhone/iPad/iPod
   We have no plans to release the full Firefox browser for iOS. The iOS SDK agreement requires apps to use Apple's own JavaScript engine (or none at all, like Opera Mini which downloads pre-rendered pages from Opera's servers and cannot run JavaScript code in the client). Because of this, we have no supported way to distribute Firefox's rendering and JavaScript engine to iPhone users. 
   However, you can download Firefox Home for iPhone, an iOS app that uses Firefox Sync to deliver Firefox bookmarks, browsing history, and tabs to your iPhone or iPod Touch.


There are no mobile versions of SeaMonkey or Thunderbird at moment also. At best there may be some third-party that may be attempting it as I think I have seen a Mozilla employee attempt to get mobile Firefox working last year or earlier but I cannot remember who and the blog.
