Apple on Friday finally approved Firefox Home, an app developed by the Mozilla Foundation that allows users to sync and view their bookmarks, open tabs, and history between their iOS devices and the desktop version of the non-profit’s flagship browser.
Firefox Home uses Firefox Sync, a free service also provided by Mozilla, to manage the synchronization of data between the app and a user’s account. On the desktop, the same functionality is provided by a free plug-in that can be installed in Firefox version 3.5 or higher.
Apple policies have prevented Mozilla from creating a mobile version of its rendering engine for iOS, meaning that Firefox Home still needs to rely on the WebKit engine that is built into iOS in order to display Web pages.
