Firefox releases cloud app for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch

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.

This week's "Web Show to Watch"

Every week, 140 Characters posts a TV show that can be accessed online as the week's "Web Show to Watch." This feature will work like a book club. Readers can post comments and discuss the week's show and post what they think about it.

Last week, I suggested readers watch the hit mocumentary about a group of college students living together on the same dorm floor - Dorm Life. This week's Web show to watch is something similar and yet completely different.

2/8 Life is about an aspiring blogger named Angela Curtis and her roommates who see themselves as part of a "generation racing to change the world." But as the recurring title/tagline suggests, "these four kids won't" change a thing.
