Apple has approved an application submitted by Mozilla that syncs history, bookmarks and open tabs with versions of the open source outfit's Firefox running on desktop computers. The Cupertino firm isn't keen on letting other browsers run on the Jesus Phone - but the Firefox Home app has, somewhat surprisingly, been given the …
...There's one major setback with the app, though. Users can't synchronise what they do on the phone with their desktop version of Firefox....
Hey, they've got their foot in the door, at least one-way... I imagine their thinking is that if the first effort is itself rejected, there will no sense in making an excessive effort. Now that they think they have been accepted, in principle, they can further develop the app.
But they reckon without Apple's "arbitrary" app-kicking rules (arbitrary to everyone else, perfectly sensible to Apple) example: MyFrame.
There is no lack of them on the iPhone. Literally dozens of them. What Apple doesn't allow is other JS interpreters than their own, so you're basically limited to WebKit as the base for your browser.
And there was nothing surprising about Firefox Home being approved, really. It was fully expected.
not quite. Mozilla and other people make bookmark-syncing addons for firefox, and normally these share the bookmarks both ways, but the iPhone version is the equivilant of read-only mode. it can display synced bookmarks from elsewhere, but not make new ones. If you bookmark on the iPhone one presumes it is just a normal bookmark.
