Mozilla Fire Fox is likely to come to iOS.

For sometime Mozilla has stated that it wouldn’t release a version of Firefox for iOS because Apple won’t let it use its own web engine on its platform. But With the new CEO on board, however, it seems like Mozilla’s position may be changing. At an internal Mozilla event in Portland, the organization discussed on the need to get its browser onto iOS.



Firefox release manager Lukas Blakk wrote on Twitter saying “We need to be where our users are,” (quoting Mozilla’s VP for Firefox Jonathan Nightingale, we think). “So we’re going to get Firefox on iOS.”



Apple has been very restrictive with regard to third-party browser engines on its platform.Third-party iOS browsers like Opera or Chrome can only operate on iOS because they use Apple’s own JavaScript and rendering engines.
It’s unclear how Mozilla plans to bring Firefox to iOS, but given that Apple isn’t likely to open up its platform for third-party browser engines, it’ll likely have to work with Apple’s technology. With that, it can still support Firefox accounts, its bookmark-syncing tools and all the other features that Firefox for Android currently offers.
Next year is going to be an important one for Firefox — and one that will hopefully bring a bit of revive for the browser. Users currently want to use the same browser on all of their devices. That makes keeping bookmarks and passwords in sync quite a bit easier. Sometimes (2012) Mozilla offered Firefox Home on iOS for exactly this reason, but then the project was abandoned

Stay tuned for more info once Mozilla drops any comment.
