Web browser Firefox could be in your mobile phone within days, according to a news report.

The popular internet browser will first be available for Nokia's N900 phone and then other handsets will follow, the BBC said.

According to the report, the company is carrying out the final tests and the browser could potentially be released by the end of the year.

"At the end of the working day you can walk away from your computer and keep on going on your phone," Jay Sullivan at Mozilla, the group behind Firefox, told the BBC. "It encrypts all of the information and sends it back through the cloud between your desktop and mobile."

Mozilla is also developing versions for Microsoft's Windows mobile and Google's Android operating system, the BBC report added. Mr Sullivan said, however, that iPhone users will have to wait for some time before the browser becomes available on their handheld devices.
