Firefox Home, a free application, is now available for download on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Firefox Home provides access to your Firefox desktop history, bookmarks and open tabs on your iPhone. Get up and go and have exactly what you are looking for on the Web on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Firefox Home takes what you sync from desktop Firefox to the cloud and puts it on the phone so you can pick up where you left off.
If you were wondering, this is not a Firefox browser for the iPhone since Apple wont allow that. It works with the free Firefox Sync add-on, so install that on your pc first. Then on the iPhone you get an Awesome Bar style search of your recently and frequently visited sites, your bookmarks in one tap and the tabs you left open on the desktop. Pages open in the app or in Mobile Safari.
Mozilla submitted the app to Apple on June 30th and it took about two weeks to get approved. You need Firefox 3.5 or higher on the computer and iOS 3.1 or later on the phone. It runs on the iPad too but only in iPhone compatibility mode, and theres no Retina support for the iPhone 4 yet. Just search for Firefox Home in the App Store. We are trying it out now, so stay tuned!!
