No...

EDIT: There is no precedent for Gecko being made to work or compile a program for Windows Phone. Frankly I don't even see it being possible given the restricted nature of the Windows Phone Environment (similar case to why there is no gecko browser for iOS)
How far are you prepared to go? How much are you prepared to risk? How many people are you prepared to sacrifice for victory?
Are you willing to die friendless, alone, deserted by everyone? Because that's what may be required of you in the war that is to come.

Shame, of course the limitations. I have been Nokia Lumia Windows Phone for the 710, 810, and 1520(current).

I'm sure the big money mongers like Google and MozCo feel similarly about the situation. That is the problem with limits.

A Gecko browser for windows mobile or iOS will never happen. Why? They want that you change to...

I just was on their page, and noticed :
Hello, we noticed you are in India. Choose your language:

English
Hindi
Tamil
Their geolocalization is... Pretty bad to say the least.

A long time ago there was a Windows Mobile project at Mozilla, but that has been abandoned for many years. There's no current working base for Windows Mobile.
