Firefox is now available for iOS

A moment that some iOS users may have been waiting for has arrived: today, the arrival of the famous Firefox web browser for Apple's iOS operating system has been officially announced.

The Firefox browser is now available for iOS, and you can find it in the App Store.

Firefox shares many similarities with other mobile web browsers: tabs, URLs, back and forward navigation, search suggestions, and other familiar features. The great thing about Firefox is that if you're a PC user with an account, you can sync your bookmarks, history, open tabs, and account information using Firefox Sync.

This version of Firefox does not include Mozilla's Gecko rendering engine, because Apple only allows the use of its WebKit , which is the rendering engine used by Google Chrome and Safari on these devices.

Among other features, Firefox for iOS , as well as for Android, offers search suggestions as you type the term to search , based on previous searches, and includes the private browsing method.

This app includes a reader mode that omits unnecessary content from a webpage, leaving only the relevant text and images. It also has a notable feature: the ability to open a page for offline reading.

One of the disappointments found in Firefox is the lack of support for 1Password , the popular password management tool.

The app may have a few minor issues at the moment, but we mustn't forget that it's just been released for iOS. However, it's a great start and a joy for users who use this web application daily on their smartphones.

Finally, you can download Firefox for iOS for free from the App Store. It's 39,6MB and comes with version 1.1.
