Hmm I don't know. I love Mozilla on a regular computer but I'm not sure if a few preferences would make me want to have both browsers installed on my iPhone since you can't remove Safari.

Also I don't see a Mozilla price other than free so could we possibly see ads?? What other mobile benefits could come from this?

This will be awesome if it still supports extensions and I don't see why it wouldn't since XULRunner is pretty core to Firefox.
-
It will never get past Apple.

I'd be happy just to have weave and mobileme sync bookmarks.
I can't believe we still can't get browsers to sync a short text list. Rocket science, it's not.

Mozilla must launch the FireFox app using cydia ,So it can use all the power of the browser without any restrictions from apple
-
When will flash be supported dammit~! Its been years now~!
-
It will never be allowed. Apple is waiting to dissaprove this app. It will never see the light of day.
-
That's exactly what I thought when I read the title. And I like what Jorge said about it being released in Cydia.

Flash is allowed today as long as its self contained inside an app. see mlb player.
Flash will never be allowed in the browser because this would allow for a marketplace for apps outside of itunes. Apple is never,never,never going to allow a legit 3'rd party marketplace. -
FIREFOX ON CYDIA! ... that is less of daydream than on the app store ... with full flash support ... this would be heaven on earth !
-
I don't think a regular company (like Mozilla) would want to deal with all the problems releasing their app to the hacking community. Doesn't seem like good publicity.

If Apple rejects this, it will officially become Microsoft. IE, anyone?
