Firefox Home, from what I understand, is not a browser and does not pretend to be one. It's an utility to sync settings (bookmarks, mostly, but perhaps passwords and history too) between Safari and the Firefox Sync service. Or perhaps it works more like a launcher, keeping a separate set of bookmarks and invoking Safari. I wouldn't know, I don't use iOS. What the previous poster suggested is that you use Firefox Sync to keep a copy of your bookmarks "on the cloud" (once set up, it works automatically -- you don't have to remember to resync), and use Firefox Home to copy those to Safari on your Ipad. There has been some talk of doing an iOS version of Firefox -- but apparently it would be something similar to Opera Mini, that is, a "browser" that does not have its own rendering engine, using instead a proxy server for that. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
