Firefox Coming To iPhone

Recently Opera for iPhone got approved in the iTunes store and now Firefox is ready to bring the Firefox experience to the platform - sadly, not as an full blown individual web-browser but as an iPhone application dubbed Firefox Home letting users instant access to their Firefox desktop history, open tabs and bookmarks on iPhone via Firefox Sync service.

Here is an excerpt from the official announcement posted at the 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."

A video sneak peak of the preliminary, non-branded version of the Firefox Home app for iPhone is also posted and can be seen after the jump.
