Saw over at PC World that Mozilla has announced plans to launch a free iPhone Application that will let you access most of your Firefox browser data on the iPhone



Firefox Home sounds like a useful tool for Firefox users who want to sync their browser data with their mobile device. It will allow you to view Web pages within the application, but Firefox Home will not be a full fledged mobile browser like Opera Mini for iPhone. Apple prohibits third-party applications from including their own rendering engine and JavaScript interpreter, according to Mozilla. Instead, applications must use the iPhone's technology for these processes, which basically means Firefox's underlying technology can't be used on the iPhone. Opera got around this problem by rendering Web pages on its servers and then sending the finished page to the iPhone.
