Firefox Home for iPhone is Coming
Mozilla Labs has announced an app for iPhone called “Firefox Home” is about being submitted to Apple App store. The app, essentially is a companion for your iPhone Safari browser.
When you use your Firefox on desktop, you can carry Tabs, bookmarks, browsing history and Firefox “Awesome Bar” to your iPhone browser. The app is based on the Firefox Sync (formerly Weave Sync) technology.
From Mozilla blog:
“Firefox Home for iPhone is part of a broader Mozilla effort to provide a more personal Web experience with more user control. For devices or platforms where we’re unable to provide the “full” Firefox browser (either technically or due to policy), we aim to provide users with “on the go” instant access to their personal Firefox history, bookmarks and open tabs on their iPhones, giving them another reason to keep loving Firefox on their desktops.”

Why is this useful?
- Left work in a hurry? You can pick up where you left off with access to the list of tabs you just had open on your desktop.
- Need those directions to that restaurant you were just reading about on your desktop? The confirmation code for your flight? Just start typing in the Awesome Bar and those pages will be right at your fingertips.
- Does it drive you crazy to have to enter the full URL on your iPhone that you’ve visited several times from your desktop? You won’t need to anymore with this app.
