Mozilla does not have any current plans to begin development for the Windows Phone platform.

Mozilla did initially experiment with a mobile browser (Minimo) for the then Windows mobile OS's. They decided to develop on Android instead from 2008 on.

Windows mobile is essentially dead so there is no point developing for it now. It had low market share (compared to Android and iOS) and was dropping over time.
