In a follow up to my previous post about RSS2WAP I got curious. Is there a Firefox extension available that would enable me to view WAP sites? Well, yes there is!

The wmlbrowser extension makes Firefox a fully-fledged WAP-browser. (See screenshot of the CitiWiz WAP site to the right)

Although every mobile device will present the content visually different, this is a nice interpretation of what you can expect. Further pro’s in no particular order are:

• Cut development time by serving up pages locally instead of uploading every change to your WAP site.
• Develop in your favorite browser. 😉
• Browse your site using a mouse instead of a quirky phone-keyboard.
• No telco costs.
• No slow connection.
• No need to install a, buggy, third-party WAP-browser.
• Browse *any* WAP-site there is. Ringtone anyone?
• …

You can get the extension from Mozilla Update.
