Firefox iPhone App

In the same week that apple gave the green-light for third party browsers to be submitted to the app store i got an email which contained a photo which claims to show firefox 3 running on an apple iPhone.

hi. I thought this may interest you. it's a picture showing a beta version of the firefox app for the iphone. Moz have been working for some time on firefox for the iphone in the hope that apple will eventually allow third party browsers in the app store and are excited that the change in their policy coincided with the release of firefox 3. You can expect firefox to be available in the app store mid Feb and of course, it will be free! :)

The beta version currently doesn't have the capacity to utilise add-ons though it does come with the google toolbar preinstalled.

Currently all the browser apps available in the app store come at a cost, albeit a nominal one, So getting an official firefox install for the iphone would be great and is guaranteed to become an instant hit with iPhone users.

The next step should be the ability to uninstall safari, or at least have an option to hide the icons of apps you don't use but can't uninstall, such as safari, stocks and itunes.
