Rumor: Sony bringing Firefox to PS3?

While nothing's been confirmed, PSInsider is reporting that an anonymous source "close to Sony" is saying that the company is in talks with Mozilla to bring the Firefox Web browser to the PlayStation 3.

Rumor has it Sony's in talks with Mozilla about porting Firefox over to the PS3. Gizmodo

We've been hoping for a while that Sony would replace the PS3's mediocre built-in Web browser with something more robust, so it's nice to hear that Sony might be in talks with Mozilla to port Firefox over to the PS3--even if it's just a rumor.

The folks at PlayStation Insider say they've "received a tip from a source very close to Sony" about possible conversations between Mozilla and Sony. No word on whether a deal is close, but having Firefox on board would put a little more wood behind the PS3's arrow in its battle against the XBox 360 and the Wii.

Do you agree?
