Connect Firefox to the iPhone

Mozilla ready with "experience" but not to Apple's mobile browser.

Mozilla has for months been working to take the experience of using Firefox over to the iPhone.

It has developed a program called Firefox Home, which today was approved and made available for download in Apple's App Store.

This is not a browser, which Apple would have denied access to, but rather a synchronization tool.

You get all your bookmarks, browsing history, and tabs you have open in your web browser on your PC, automatically transferred to the iPhone.

The experience means you can move seamlessly between mobile phone and computer, with instant access to your last user session.

This requires that you pre-download an extension called  Firefox Sync browser on your computer.

Mozilla has said that it is unattractive for them to create a version of the Firefox browser to your iPhone. The reason is as you know that Apple does not allow other browsers than their own Safari, or different skins, all based on the same browser engine Webkit.

The reason for this is stipulated in their policies, which confirms that third-party applications to iPhone is not allowed to interpret the code.

Site was known as the entry on the iPhone with its Opera Mini, but this does not interpret code in the program. Instead, the code is treated in the company's server park, before the website is sent as compressed images and text to your mobile phone.
