What Firefox Browser is comparable with my Apple IPhone 4S
Seems as though there is some difference of opinion about Firefox's compatibility with working with the Apple IPhone 4S or any Apple Smartphone is that true? Has Mozilla/Firefox built a browser that works with the Apple Operating System? I currently am using The Mercury Browser, is that browser Firefox? I am confused but want Firefox as my browser can you please help me? Thank you Buck Buchman (Contact info removed by Mod)

There is no version of Firefox for iOS. This is because Mozilla wants to bring its own code to the platform and not just skin the default browser, and Apple has not allowed that (yet).
Please come back to this thread and edit the personal information out of your question. Never mind, Tyler did it for you.

There is not, and there likely will not be for some time, a Firefox browser for iOS (IPhone, iPad, iPod, iEtc.). Apple will not allow competing platforms (gecko, which powers Firefox) onto their devices. Even the other browsers that are on iOS (like chrome) are only reskinned versions of Safari, and are actually slower than it because Apple wont give access to certain API's needed to speed up Javascript. Unfortunately, on iOS, there is a closed ecosystem that doesn't allow healthy competition among browsers.
