Mozilla Have No Plans To Bring Firefox To iOS

Sep 29th 2010 by

Those hoping to see a mobile version of Firefox running on their iOS device anytime soon should look away now. In a blog post published today, Mozilla have announced that they have no plans to bring a full-fledged version of their popular web browser to the App Store.

From the blog post:

No Firefox Browser for the iPhone

We are working to bring as much of your Firefox experience as possible to Firefox Home. People have asked about adding more browser-like features to Firefox Home, but there are technical and logistical restrictions that make it difficult, if not impossible, to build the full Firefox browser for the iPhone. We are focused on building Firefox Home as a rich, cloud-based application and making it a valuable product that people will continue to love and use.

I, for one, am certainly a bit disappointed by this news; I was very much hoping to see a mobile Firefox on my iPhone and iPad, if only to turn to at those times of frustration with the built-in Safari browser.
