This article shows an upcoming version of Firefox for iOS, so yours might look different. Please update in a few weeks to get these features.

If you use Firefox on multiple devices, a free Firefox Account lets you sync your history, open tabs, bookmarks and passwords on all your devices. All you need is an email address and password.

Bookmarks: This version of Firefox allows you to sync bookmarks from Firefox on your Android device, or Mac, Windows or Linux computer to your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Bookmarks saved on your iOS devices will not sync to your Android device, Mac, Windows or Linux computer.
