There is a program I need to use for school which requires an adobe player and run on Firefox. Any way around this so I can run the program?

Hi Kurimay,

There is no true Firefox for IOS. There is the very cool and handy app Firefox Home though. It allows you to share your bookmarks to your IOS device.

Since flash is not natively supported on IOS, you probably aren't going to find anything that will work for your needs.

Unfortunately the Firefox Home app is more for iPhone in mind as it does not look as good on the iPad.

As far as the Adobe Flash Player, Apple has banned Flash from the iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices.

why is it banned? Is there a comparable program offered by Apple to use programs that require a Flash Player to run?

Apple and Adobe have been in a mulit-year disagreement about access to Flash on iOS Devices. Apple has tight control over what programs can run on your iOS device. Adobe was never allowed to submit a version of flash for iOS. Adobe has ceased development of Flash player for any mobile device. http://mashable.com/2011/11/11/flash-mobile-dead-adobe/
