It was a difficult decision to make, but I am leaving Mozilla effective July 31, 2009 to pursue another opportunity. The ride at Mozilla has been exciting and I am sure I will miss working with the great people in Mozilla and the community.
I wish everybody the best of luck and hope Firefox will go from strength to strength and of course that Fennec will be as big a success as Firefox – or even bigger
Update: As have been written several places (last 2 links in Danish), I am joining Nokia in August.

Uh, hard to believe there can be a *better* opportunity than working for Mozilla!
I hope it won’t affect the Fennec project and I wish you all the best for your next move.

Very sorry to see you go, but best of luck with the new opportunity.

Christian, you will be missed. Sad to see a true Viking leave Mozilla, but I trust that you’ll stay in touch with the community!

Sad to see you leave Mozilla. But good luck with the new job.

With this departure, I think future of Fennec project is dead. Mozilla doesn’t want mobile browser any more? Who will replace him?

I wish you good luck @ Nokia.

Would you continue your fennec project after leaving for nokia
nokia symbian really need a decent web browser like fennec

@Fennec: It isn’t likely that I will continue working on Fennec, but I am sure that other people in the community will continue the work.

thanks for your fast reply, i am so glad that the Fennec for s60 will not be discontinued.
wish you all the best at Nokia,
