14 DAY TRIAL // The Firefox Home iPhone app has been updated. The app, which syncs your open tabs and bookmarks between Firefox and the iPhone, now comes in a myriad of new languages and also gets a few new features.
"Firefox Home, a free app that syncs your Firefox browsing history, bookmarks and open tabs to your iPhone or iPod touch, is now available in 16 languages worldwide. Get Firefox Home in your language now!," Mozilla urges.
"We appreciate your feedback and worked to incorporate some of the top suggestions in this latest release," it added in the announcement.
Firefox Home now supports 16 different languages including new additions like French, German, Japanese, Polish and Spanish. This should make it more accessible to a wider audience.
Being an open-source project with a strong emphasis in the community, you can expect support for even more languages in the future.
An interesting new feature in Firefox Home 1.0.2 is the URL Search Bar which enables you to find a website you visited on your desktop, but which isn't in your bookmarks or opened tabs.
Start typing the part of the URL you remember and Firefox Home will search through your browsing history to find the site you're looking for.
And with the new Awesome Bar Search, you're typing will be significantly reduced. Just pick from the suggestions which show up as soon as you've entered a few characters.
For users who would like to run their own Firefox Sync servers, for privacy or security concerns, can now connect use Firefox Home as well. They'll probably appreciate the end-to-end encryption that now comes with Firefox Home, as well.
Now that Sync is built into Firefox 4, the Home app becomes even more useful. And since an iPhone version of the Firefox browser is out of the question for now, Home is the only way to continue your session on the popular mobile device.
Firefox Home 1.0.2 is available for download here.
