We've waited years and now it's finally here..or at least something relatively close to it is here. Firefox Home, a free app that syncs your Firefox browsing history, bookmarks and open tabs to the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, is now available in Apple's App Store.
According to a release from Mozilla, creators of Firefox, the new app is not a Web browser itself but when users select a Web address or search term, the app will take you to a Web page using a browser within the app.
Now the bad news. Mozilla officially cancelled its project to build a Firefox Mobile app on iOS today. Instead the company is expected to focus on Firefox home as a way to build its cloud presence.
"We do not have plans to ship the full Firefox browser for the iPhone. Due to constraints with the OS environment and distribution, we cannot provide users Firefox for the iPhone," the company said in a press release.
Below is a video explaining some of the features in Firefox home and how to sync the app to your browser.
