Firefox in the app store

[eyoungren]

Firefox for iOS is out.

Do a search in the app store for Firefox Web Browser and scroll down.

Thanks.

Going to use it for a while and see if it can replace Safari on my iPhone. I use to use Chrome but it kept crashing every now and then and it drains my battery faster than normal (or maybe I'm imagining things).

Trying it now. First impression, switching tabs is quite a pain..

Does it let you use ad blockers like the desktop version?

No problem. I tried it for a little while. Don't think it's going to replace Dolphin for me though - not yet anyway.

Don't know. Haven't tried it extensively yet and most of the places I go don't really have ads.

Mozilla engineer here, we're seeing what we can do provided we would need access to private API's from Apple (as do all other 3rd party browsers), but we're investigating the potential for the future.
