Firefox adds client for its browser to iPhone
Mozilla said they will be releasing a new iPhone app that gives you convenient access to the bookmark keywords and titles you have saved in Firefox.The pages will then be rendered by the Safari web browser in iPod/iPhone/iPad, since Apple insists on the Safari WebKit web view pane being the only web rendering component in the system.
Understandable, because if you look at the statistics, you would not want Opera or IE based rendering components in the system because they are unsafe even in their own apps. Someday things might change. But it does not look like it so far.
This new app could be a great convenience and a nice way for Firefox users to save themselves a lot of typing effort on iPhone when they browse the web.
