The Mobile World Congress in Barcelona saw the launch of software aiming to try and solve some of the bigger issues such as handsets not playing Flash videos.
Despite the majority of video, animation, and many games on the net being Flash based, the system is not yet fully supported on handsets.
David Wadhani, vice president of Adobe, said: "We'll see over the next 12 months Flash player 10.1, which is the same version of Flash on desktops, running on a variety of smartphones."
The mobile download of Flash 10.1 will be available from this summer on Android and Palm Pre handsets - and with other manufacturers to follow.
Currently 19 out of the top 20 manufacturers have signed up to support the video and animation platform. The update will not be available on the iPhone because Apple has decided not to support the software.
It will feature tabbed browsing, session syncing between mobile and desktops, and currently includes 40 add-ons to make it among the most customisable browser on a handset.
The Twitter add-on allows the user to tweet from the address bar. Firefox is already available on Nokia's N900 and will be downloadable to other handsets throughout 2010.
Opera has also produced ultra-fast mobile browser Mini for the iPhone which is yet to be submitted for App Store approval. The company claims it will load pages up to six times faster than the iPhone's current Safari browser.
