SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT FIREFOX HOME!

"Can’t remember where you saw that important story just before you left the office? Open the app and check your history. Want a shortcut to save you from typing a long URL on the iPhone or iPod Touch? Open the app. (As a bonus, on my tests, it opened Web pages faster than Safari.)" --New York Times: Gadgetwise http://nyti.ms/duMTDu

"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." -- ars technica http://bit.ly/d1FsXH

If the web page has a google+ button, it loads a new page with JUST the button, making the app unusable

It would seem that the majority of negative comments here are from ignorant users that think this is suppose to be a port of the desktop browser...

Complete and Utter Garbage
     
by BattleBorn3 · July 29, 2012

Completely and utterly useless. Codes do not work, all I get are login errors. My HDD fried, installed a new one, attempted to re-sync, and I get squat. C'mon Mozilla, you guys have really been slipping of late. I'm incredibly disappointed.

Very cool!

Bookmarks on the go.

Half a browser

This is sufficient if you use Firefox on your desktop or laptop and want to sync your bookmarks to your iDevices, but it's not a full blown browser. If Firefox is not your main browser and you don't need to sync anything, go with Chrome or just use Safari.

OK except for…
