Anyway, those plugins might be quite good if they can be installed on a current (15+) Fennec.

Also I'm glad they commissioned Nokia Pure. Nokia Sans feels like an (unwelcome) blast from the past!
Most likely because iOS and Android use Webkit browsers and unless Nokia did the same most mobile sites would break. Webkit is becoming the new IE6...
