I think it's great that they are going to officially support iOS again.

Coincidentally I submitted a new version of my own browser app to the AppStore, on the same day they made the announcement. I added support for the new Firfox sync protocol - it took me forever to get it working and now it's kind of redundant :-/

Anyway, if someone is interested in the source: https://github.com/graetzer/Foxbrowser

It's not redundant. You wrote an awesome browser and many people, including me, a very eager to get their hands on the new version. Keep up with you awesome work! It's not just that competition like this is important, but this project is also something that you can show around and impress people with it (at e.g. job interviews).

Your version is out, their is not, it's whole lot of a difference. Thanks a lot and I'm installing it right away !

Thanks, just to clarify: the new version is still in the review process, the version in the AppStore only works with older Firefox versions.

You will have to install this from source to get the latest version

I just got the 3.0 update on my phone and connected it to my Firefox account. Unfortunately, after the initial sync completes the app goes into a constant crash loop, making it unusable.

This is on an iPhone 5S running iOS 8.1.1, with about 200 bookmarks. If there are any crash logs I can provide, let me know.

I don't use your browser, but I'll check it out.

Also I hope the dev of iCab reads HN and can get some benefit from your code - he's not added support for new FF sync yet.

Why is there so much Google Analytics tracking in your app?
