John Wolfe has been working on getting a functional XULRunner build working under Windows Mobile 6 (target platform is WM6 Standard). A brain dump of his progress can be found at Mobile/Build/WinMobile6_XULRunner_BrainDump_20080630.
Symbian OS
We are aware of active interest in this platform but do not currently have any plans to port to it. If you would like to work on this, please contact us on the mobile irc channel or by email and we'd be happy to support you as best we can.
Initial effort for building Mozilla on Symbian OS has been made, details can be found at Mobile/Build/Symbian.
Fennec
The Fennec exists as a xul app built on top of xulrunner. In that way, it is architecture independent. You can find instructions for building Fennec here: Mobile/Build/Fennec, which are dependent on having a working xulrunner for your target.
