Firefox For iPhone Is Coming: Firefox Home


Firefox Home is not another version of Firefox for Mobile, Fennec, its rather a window to access your Firefox world, making sure that you don’t miss any of your bookmarks, open tabs on other firefox and stuff.

Already in May, Mozilla announced that they are working to launch a Firefox browser for Apple’s iPhone. But since the Apple’s software development kit prohibits a competitive browser, Mozilla couldn’t have come up with a complete browser to replace Safari.

So they thought to come up with an App that enables the users to fetch their Firefox data from other devices on their iPhone, using Firefox Sync. (Firefox Sync, previously known as Weave Sync, syncs users data – open tabs, history, saved passwords, bookmarks, securely on a cloud which can be later accessed or downloaded by the user using the same application.)

This way while using your iPhone, you won’t miss the tabs open on your Office computer(running firefox) or the bookmarks on your Home computer. Ofcourse, to see the best results you will need to install the Firefox Sync addon on all your firefox installations.

Mozilla submitted Firefox Home to Apple’s app store the 1st July. No one knows how much time Apple will take to accept or reject it, could be days, weeks, months. Browserland will keep you updated with the result.
