Breaking : Mozilla (Firefox?) app for iPhone to come up within few weeks

ff_on_iphoneAre you bored with Safari on your iPhone? Want a Change? Perhaps new broswer or new features?? In  the coming weeks, you might be able to get your hands on the Mozilla (Maybe Firefox) app for iPhone!

Om Malik when interviewing the CEO of Mozilla found out that, a iPhone app for Mozilla may be on it’s way to the App store soon!

Another interesting aspect of it would be the weave feature. It’s like typing the URL in the address bar and getting all the browser history from all the devices and if this is not enough, you can save your browser preferences on Mozilla’s server so that you can access them form any device easily.

When Om asked them about this feature being integrated with the iPhone app, they remained silent but you see, silence answers lots of questions ;)

But what will happen, if Apple just decides to not, approve the app? Everything’s crushed :( and history would be repeating itself just like what happened with Google Voice, but yeah it did come up back with a Online version of the app though.

Also : Do read the comment by Sebastien below which clears out many things.

Update : There is some confusion, as to if the app is a browser or not. Currently we cannot confirm, anything, but will keep you posted as soon as we receive information.

  • Apple approved Spotify. So hopefully they will approve a competitor browser.
  • Mostly they should, or else apple will have to face the angry developers and users!
  • Well you see your article is misleading for people stranger to the matter. FireFox is NOT coming to the iPhone. NO, I repeat, FireFox is not coming to the iPhone.

    What's coming to the iPhone is a product by Mozilla (the company that develops FireFox). The product in question will most likely help manage your bookmarks and stuff.

    But again, it's not gonna replace Mobile Safari.app.
  • Thanks for Clarification. Will update is asap.
  • Name
    Where in Om's post does he say it will be Firefox? Mozilla aren't stupid enough to submit a browser.
  • Check the post back. It says about the weave feature, which does relate itself to Firefox.

    Looks like a joke
  • Shresh
    The only thing i can hope for is the App to be free!
  • Most Probably, the app is going to be free.
  • Parvesh
    It's got to be, or else no one will download it.
  • Abhishek

  • lolol.. Yeah you do, but only if Apple Approves it!
