Firefox on iPhone?

[SeanMcC]

Apple would not approve because it would be a "duplicate feature".

Well

We dug up a 2 year old thread and still no firefox enough said!

As far as I know, Apple already allows alternative browsers, but they all must be WebKit-based. This means that Google would not be able to use the Gecko rendering engine or IE it's mosaic-based engine. Add in the Apple's requirements for interface standardization, and any third-party browser would just end up looking like Safari anyway.

In fact, that's what a lot of web-enabled apps are, really: single-purpose web-browsers with a couple of custom buttons.

Firefox for iphone

Mozilla is working with Apple to develop the firefox app for the iphone. The firefox home app has been approved for download from the app store. I think its supposed to be free, but not sure about that at this point in time...

Wow, you dug up a 4 year old thread. I would love if there is a Firefox version of iOS since I'm a Firefox user myself and Chrome has been available on the AppStore for awhile.
