A couple of weeks ago, Mozilla submitted their new browser application for the iPhone and iPod Touch to Apple for approval, Firefox Home, and it is now available from the App Store.
Firefox Home is a stripped-down version of Firefox for the iPhone and iPod Touch, and you will be able to sync your browser history, tabs, and bookmarks using ‘Firefox Sync.’
Get up and go and have everything waiting for you on your iPhone: Your Firefox history, bookmarks, and open tabs, just as you had left them on your desktop computer. Firefox Home is secure from end-to-end so your data is always safe. And, of course, it’s free.
Features of Firefox Home
Firefox Home offers a seamless browsing experience by allowing users to access their desktop Firefox data on their iPhone or iPod Touch. This means that all your important information, such as browsing history, bookmarks, and open tabs, can be accessed on the go. This is particularly useful for users who frequently switch between their desktop and mobile devices, ensuring that they can pick up right where they left off without missing a beat.
One of the standout features of Firefox Home is its use of Firefox Sync. This feature ensures that all your data is synchronized across devices, providing a consistent and unified browsing experience. Firefox Sync uses end-to-end encryption, which means that your data is secure and private, giving you peace of mind that your information is protected.
How to Use Firefox Home
Using Firefox Home is straightforward. Once you have downloaded the app from the iTunes App Store, you will need to set up Firefox Sync on your desktop Firefox browser. This involves creating a Firefox account and following the prompts to sync your data. Once this is done, you can log into Firefox Home on your iPhone or iPod Touch using the same account details, and your data will be automatically synced.
The interface of Firefox Home is user-friendly and intuitive. Upon opening the app, you will see your synced tabs, bookmarks, and history. You can easily navigate through these sections to find the information you need. For example, if you were reading an article on your desktop and had to leave, you can open Firefox Home on your iPhone and continue reading from where you left off.
Additionally, Firefox Home includes a search feature that allows you to quickly find specific bookmarks or history entries. This can save you time and make your browsing experience more efficient.
Firefox Home is available for free from the iTunes App Store, and you can download it from the link below.
