Mozilla announced that they have submitted "Firefox Home" to the apple store.  Firefox Home is a free application that provides access to your Firefox desktop history, bookmarks and open tabs on your iPhone. Firefox Home enables access to the websites you need on the go by picking up where you left off with your desktop browsing.

Firefox Home uses your browser data, securely synced from Firefox on your desktop to the cloud, to let you search and browse it quickly and efficiently. You can view the sites you want directly in Firefox Home, open them in Mobile Safari or share them with friends via e-mail. Your Firefox data is private and only you have access to it.

Check out the video below to see features of the Firefox home.  It's not been accepted yet by Apple, but they will let everyone know when it is.

If you are a Firefox fan, you will really like Firefox 9 for Android Tablets.  Firefox Version 9.0 is a version that's optimized for large tablet screen sizes.

When in landscape mode, Firefox tabs now appear as thumbnails on the left, allowing users to easily switch between them - of course, this whole time you can view full websites on the right. In portrait mode, tabs are situated in a top left menu.  There's also a new Action Bar menu, too, providing access to Preferences, downloads, Add-ons and so on. Firefox 9.0 for Android also brings a faster start-up time, and HTML5 form validation. You can see the full changelog here.

Here are some of the details of the changes.

• New Look for TabletsFirefox has a new experience for tablets that leverages the large screen size and makes mobile Web browsing more intuitive. Popular Firefox features like tabs and the Awesome Screen are optimized for tablets.

• Full-Screen Portrait Browsing: Firefox takes advantage of large tablet screens so you can use the full screen to browse the Web, even in portrait mode. Tabs are listed in a top left menu and easily hide when you don't need them

• Tab Optimization: Tabs are shown as thumbnails in the left panel of Firefox, allowing you to easily switch between tabs while still viewing full websites on the right. You can swipe to the left to hide tabs for a full screen view

• New Action Bar with Quick Access Buttons: You can access Firefox Preferences, Add-ons, downloads and more in the new Action Bar menu (next to the Awesome Bar). The Action Bar adds back, forward and bookmark buttons for easy access

• HTML5 Input Tag for Camera Access: Developers can build mobile websites and Web apps that allow you to use the camera on an Android phone or tablet to take pictures, scan bar codes and more without leaving Firefox

• HTML5 Form Validation: Firefox supports the HTML5 Form Validation API which automatically validates website form fields like numbers, emails and URLs without developers needing to write a custom code or use a third-party library

• Firefox for Android is built on the same rendering engine as Firefox for desktop computers. Please see the Firefox release notes for additional relevant changes
