Now that the new line of PS3s have lost the support for installing Linux, Sony must've felt the need to provide an upgrade for its built-in browser. Hot and fresh out of the rumor mill: Sony is in talks with Mozilla about adding Firefox support for the PS3.

Word comes from PlayStation Insider, which reports that they've received a tip from "a source very close to Sony." The informant says that Sony had been in talks with Mozilla lately about providing Firefox for the PS3, but pointed out that it is uncertain if an agreement has been reached.

If indeed the PS3 gains support for Firefox and all its plugins, then this will be great news for those who use their PS3s for web-browsing, especially those who bought the new Slim. For now, we wait until more info comes out.
