> Are you really insistent that you come op with your own "-moz-viewport" crap just because there isn't a draft standard?
No, we're not insistent. We implemented WebKit's "viewport" meta tag. We can be pragmatic too.
I just wanted to point out one of the many of Safari features that Apple is promoting without writing any specs or standards, and the effect this has on the browser market. Others include touch events, link[rel="apple-X"], -webkit-text-size-adjust...
I agree the proliferation of vendor prefixes in the wild has bad effects, and we are feeling the pain of it too.

Thanks for the kind words. :) We know we're way behind the game on mobile, and the only thing we can do to fix it is ship great software. I think when you get a chance to see what you can do with add-ons for mobile Firefox, you'll be tempted to switch.
We're on a rough six-month release schedule: Fennec 1.0 shipped in January, Fennec 1.1 will ship this month, and we are targeting this October or November for Fennec 2.0. Look for our first 2.0 alpha release for Maemo and Android in a month or two.
