Why Bother?
Mozilla has announced plans to launch a free iPhone Application that will let you access most of your Firefox browser data on the iPhone.
Called Firefox Home, the native iPhone app gives you access to your Firefox browser history, bookmarks, and Awesome Bar. Home will also sync any currently open tabs from Firefox on your desktop to the iPhone, giving you “on the go” instant access to important Web pages.
It’s not clear when Firefox Home will become available, but Mozilla says it plans to submit the app to Apple in June, at which point Apple will either approve or reject it. Firefox Home is designed for the iPhone and iPod Touch, and Mozilla has not announced plans for a version for the iPad.
Wait. This app will allow you to access most of your Firefox browser data on the iPhone, but what about the browser itself? No. There will be no browser.
This is simply an app which will allow you to sync your Firefox bookmarks with your iPhone. You will not be able to sync your iPhone bookmarks with your Firefox.
Using an iPhone is like heading down a one-way street, but it appears Firefox is going the wrong way.
