Firefox Almost On Your iPhone… Sort Of

Between work and home, there’s this hole in your life–the hole where Firefox should be. While there isn’t a full Firefox browser experience for the iPhone, Firefox Home is nearly here to fill the gap. The app will give instant access to your work or home Firefox browsing history, bookmarks and the set of tabs from your most recent browser session.

Mozilla gave the web a sneak peak into Firefox Home on the organization’s blog yesterday. Home is supposed to give users a “get up and go” way to use Firefox. More importantly, it’s free.

Mozilla’s development demo is after the break.

Mozilla also describes how they see users taking advantage of Firefox Home:

• Left work in a hurry? You can pick up where you left off with access to the list of tabs you just had open on your desktop.
• Need those directions to that restaurant you were just reading about on your desktop? The confirmation code for your flight? Just start typing in the Awesome Bar and those pages will be right at your fingertips.
• Does it drive you crazy to have to enter the full URL on your iPhone that you’ve visited several times from your desktop? You won’t need to anymore with this app.
