Firefox Home Coming to iPhone

Apple has approved Firefox Home, a free app from the Mozilla Foundation for mobile devices running the iPhone operating system such as the iPhone and iPad. Firefox Home lets users sync and view bookmarks and open tabs and browser history between the iOS device and a desktop or notebook computer.

So, if you have been wishing for a long time to run Firefox on your iPhone, then there is a chance that your wish may come true, not completely, sort of.

No it's not Firefox for the iPhone, but Mozilla is making an effort to enable Firefox users to integrate with Apple's technology.

Mozilla Lab's Firefox Home app has cleared Apple's approval process and is now available for free in the App Store. The app uses Firefox Sync to import browser history, tabs, and the Awesome Bar, bringing a truncated version of the Firefox experience to the iPhone and iPod Touch.

A Firefox sync app gets Apple's OK, enabling users to continue their desktop browsing sessions on the iPhone or iPad. But it's not a new browser.

Android users, Firefox is making a major play to be your go-to browser. You can now sync all kinds of settings, open tabs, bookmarks, and passwords between Firefox 4 on your PC and Firefox 4 on your Android. Here's how it's done.

Syncing bookmarks? That's for amateurs! If you're ready to get real, you can sync your bookmarks, passwords, history, tabs, and more with Mozilla Weave Sync for Firefox and Fennec.

Mozilla released Firefox 13 Wednesday, which it says is a speedier, safer version of the open source web browser. The newly launched Firefox also boasts a new home page and tab page layout similar to those of competing browsers such as Google's Chrome.

Weave sync addon provides Firefox users the ability to keep their browser info in sync across all their devices running Firefox.
