Designers, let the creative juices flow and participate in the Firefox Home iPhone Skin Design Challenge. Please leave your comments or ask questions on our Firefox Home Support Forum. This is the first release of Firefox Home on iPhone, and with your ideas, we hope to provide more features to this application over time. We’re working to make Firefox Home available worldwide in the very near future. Many of you have asked when Firefox Home will be available for download in your country’s App Store. You now have the ability to get up and go in a moment’s notice, and access your flight status, reservation time or driving directions you were looking at at your desk without a second thought! Firefox Home is a valuable app that gives you instant access to your most recently and frequently visited sites, right at your fingertips. Being able to pick up on the iPhone where I left off on the PC is one of those ideas that suddenly seems long overdue,” - Jared Newman, PC World.įirefox Home, Different from Firefox Web Browserįirefox Home is a part of making the personal Web experience portable across multiple computers and devices. “Firefox’s Home App for iPhone has opened my eyes to a world where desktop and mobile web browsing become one, but we’re not quite there yet. (As a bonus, on my tests, it opened Web pages faster than Safari.)” - Bob Tedeschi, New York Times: Gadgetwise Want a shortcut to save you from typing a long URL on the iPhone or iPod Touch? Open the app. “Can’t remember where you saw that important story just before you left the office? Open the app and check your history. “If you’re at all like me and leave dozens (or more!) tabs open on your home machine, you’ll definitely like the convenience of being able to access something you left open while you’re on the go.” - Chris Foresman, ars technica We are humbled by all the interest and positive reviews we’ve seen on the Web. We believe Firefox Home is an excellent Web companion for the iPhone because it lets you access your Firefox history, bookmarks and tabs no matter where you are.

Adblock Plus blocks intrusive and malicious advertisements, while supporting website creators via Acceptable Ads by default (this, however, is configurable). We read your comments in the App Store and on our forum and truly appreciate all the feedback you have given us. Brings you a cleaner, faster internet experience without intrusive ads. We made some updates to Firefox Home, which are now available, so if you haven’t tried it yet, get it now. It has everything you can ask for: it is fast, it has a perfectly functional tab system, lots of customization options, and also takes your security into account.The response has been tremendous since Firefox Home, our free iPhone app, became available in Apple’s App Store. You can, for instance, add a website to your favorites by just shaking the device to one side.įirefox Browser for Android is an excellent browser. This extension can ameliorate this but it seems. That comes with a big price: any link you click on these apps, will open in Chrome instead of using the system default browser. The third feature worth mentioning is the adaptation of the keyboard shortcuts to the touch screen. As Firefox support for web-apps is not yet useful for practical purposes (no dock windows or app icons on macos at least), we are forced to create web apps using Chrome. You can add different extensions, change the general appearance, and make it your own. The second feature is that, as with the computer version, Firefox Browser for Android has many customization options. Naturally, to synchronize it with your computer browser, you first have to log in. The first interesting characteristic of the app is that it lets you see the browsing history, bookmarks, passwords, and even open tabs that you have on your computer browser, all by just doing a couple of gestures on your Android. Its list of features and benefits is long enough to strongly consider using it as the default browser on your phone or tablet. Firefox, one the most important browsers currently available, along with Google Chrome, is now also available for Android devices.
