Apple approves Firefox Home iPhone App
Firefox Home iPhone application has been accepted to the App Store
Mozilla announced that its Firefox Home iPhone application has been accepted to the App Store, and is available for downloading. The program is not a full-fledged version of Firefox, but instead is a spin-off of the bookmark and tab synchronization technology it currently offers as an add-on to the desktop browser.
Firefox Home gives users access to their browser bookmarks and history, as well as to the open tabs from their most recent Firefox sessions. The iPhone application also includes technology from Firefox's "Awesome Bar" -- Mozilla's name for the revamped address bar in Firefox 3.0 and later -- that lets users search for previously-visited pages using keywords or characters in either the URL or the page title.
Mozilla's application offers one-way sync only -- from Firefox on the desktop to the iPhone, but not the reverse. To enable desktop-to-iPhone synchronization, users must first install Firefox Sync in their browser. Firefox Home also works on the iPod Touch and on the iPad in iPhone mode.
