That's right, Firefox Home is coming to the App Store very shortly, but what exactly is it? Well, it has had two other names before: Weave Sync and Firefox Sync. What it does is gives users access to all of their Firefox browsing history, a list of their recently closed tabs, bookmarks, and the Awesome Bar, all of which are encrypted. As Mozilla states, it provides a "get up and go" sort-of experience.
It's not a complete surprise as Mozilla did announce it had something in the works last October. It's interesting however to see that instead of bringing Firefox to the iPhone, like Opera did; they are just bringing some of Firefox's top features on top of the built-in WebKit browser.
