Mozilla’s developer, Pavlov has announced that the development of a Firefox version for Windows Mobile has been frozen due to lack of collaboration from Microsoft. Pavlov, in this blog post had this to say, as concerns Firefox Mobile and Windows Phone 7

To add a new ready-to-use profile information that you can subsequently use to autofill web forms, fill-in your personal information in the Options -> Personal Stuff -> Change Autofill settings. Multiple profiles can be created, and they can have the same ‘Labels’, though it doesn’t make much sense. Unwanted profiles can be deleted from within the AutoFill Profile windows.
