Mozilla gets Firefox onto the Iphone 4
OPEN SOURCE WEB BROWSER developer Mozilla has managed to get Firefox on the Iphone, sort of.
After giving up on getting its popular browser onto the Iphone OS, Mozilla decided to create Firefox Home, an application that synchronises data between Firefox browsers on computers with a device running Iphone OS. The application allows users access to bookmarks, browsing history and even currently open tabs on their computers.
Mozilla says that Firefox Home aims to provide "part of the Firefox experience" on devices "where we're unable to provide the 'full' Firefox browser (either technically or due to policy)".
The developer collective is also quick to allay security fears by saying that the application uses end-to-end encryption and that the synchronisation doesn't include stored passwords.
Those hoping that with the launch of Firefox Home there is a chance that Mozilla's popular browser will tip up on the Iphone will be disappointed. Mozilla has said that it does not "have plans to ship the Firefox browser for the Iphone".
Interestingly, while the browser outfit says that its Firefox Home application will work on older Iphones, those with 3G and 3GS devices might run out of memory if more than 2,000 bookmarks are synchronised. Iphone 4 users should avoid that problem as not only does the device have more RAM, but thanks to the duff antenna, users can't even connect to the Internet.
The Firefox Home application can be downloaded for free from Mozilla's website. µ

I have an iPhone 4 and I can connect to the
Internet just fine you fucking douchebag, infant I'm typing this right now on an iPhone 4. Antenna seems to work just fine up here in Canada. Hmm maybe these "antenna issues" are actually way over-hyped like Apple said afterall?.. Hmmm or maybe AT&T just has a completely overpopulated network in the US, ever think of that? I can't even simulate the "deathgrip" here in Ontario on Rogers network. You have obviously never even laid your hands on an iPhone 4 yet. Or you wouldn't be saying "users can't connect to the Internet" like an idiot, that's completely unfounded and you can't even back that up.
Did your sense of humility get amputated? Veterans get my respect until they start saying things like, 'I'm a war amputee so you have to respect me.' If you want to be coddled go suck your mum's tit.
Sorry, this wasn't sarcastic. You're an ass.
My iphone 4 has no signal issues as a war amputee with the inability to perform a death grip.
Make a sarcastic comment in my direction if you wish.
Nice app for what it does.
I'm sure iPhone users will appreciate Firefox eating up all their phone's RAM, and stuttering in response to it. Still, they won't get to witness Youtube pausing every few seconds while Firefox caches the video, because the iPhones won't support Flash.
my iphone 4 can connect to the internet and i have no signal problems , you fucking retard !
usually bores me.
The one at the iPhone not connecting to the net made me lol though - well done :p
Clearly they haven't heard of UMarks. No wonder Firefox are beginning to slide.
