I use Firefox on my Mac (OS 10.9.2). Firefox v29 encouraged syncing. Can I sync with my iPhone and iPad?

I see conflicting information about Firefox for Mac OS. It works on my Mac Desktop computer running OS X. What is the official position? If Firefox is not available for iPhone and iPad, is such a product in the pipeline?

Sorry, Mozilla has no plans for a version of Firefox for iOS devices. As far as the Firefox Sync service, Mozilla discontinued the app for iOS devices awhile ago, but Bookmarks on the Go app took over what Mozilla had created for iOS and the Sync service. Unfortunately Firefox 29 has a new version of Sync that isn't backwards compatible, so Bookmarks on the Go will need to be updated to work with the new Sync version.

I think the major problem between Apple iOS and Mozilla is Apple's "walled garden" approach to software running on their devices and Mozilla's open source approach to software.
