If you've been one of the many clamoring to see Firefox running on an iPhone, you may get your chance--of sorts.
Back in late May, Mozilla announced that it would be creating an iPhone version of its Firefox browser--though the solution is not a browser itself. On Wednesday, Mozilla submitted its Firefox Home iPhone app to Apple for testing--and, it hopes, for approval.
The free Firefox Home is more of a window to your Firefox browsing rather than a competing browser itself, which Apple's software development kit prohibits. Rather, the app relies on Firefox Sync, a cloud-based syncing technology that promises to securely sync your desktop bookmarks, history, and open tabs across Firefox browsers on desktops, mobile phones, and tablets. You'll be able to view recent Web sites directly from Firefox Home via a WebKit viewer or by opening your previously-visited Web pages in the default Safari browser.
