Rather than trying to create a carbon copy of the Firefox browser on the iPhone and really hope it gets accepted in the App Store, (being third-party browser that isn’t based on Apple’s Webkit browser platform), Mozilla is building an application for the iPhone, based on Firefox Sync (formerly Weave Sync) technology.

Firefox Home also incorporates Firefox’s “Awesome Bar” and its capability to remember your previous and automatically saved searches. More»
