It's Apple Style

Apple has approved an application from Mozilla that synchronizes bookmarks and open tabs with versions of Firefox running elsewhere.

The Firefox Home application is once called Weave and now called Firefox Sync. Mozilla submitted Firefox Home to Apple's App Store on June 30.

Browser sync tools, Xmarks, can sync across Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Not all sync is the same, though: bookmarks and tabs are one area, but sync also can extend to passwords, browsing history, and other aspects of browser use.

Although there's no Firefox for iOS, Mozilla has released a version for Nokia devices running the Maemo operating system that's on the way to becoming MeeGo through a partnership with Intel. And an Android version is on the way. Mozilla scrapped a Windows Mobile version of Firefox.
