Apple and Adobe are not friends and, as a result, Safari will not allow the download of another browser; ie: Firefox which has Flash Player required by a great deal of media content. Can Firefox with Flash Player slip in the back door on Apple?

Firefox Home is not a web browser but a iOS app that allows you to sync with your desktop Firefox bookmarks, browsing history, and tabs. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/home/

   We have no plans to release the full Firefox browser for iOS. The iOS SDK agreement requires apps to use Apple's own JavaScript engine (or none at all, like Opera Mini which downloads pre-rendered pages from Opera's servers and cannot run JavaScript code in the client). Because of this, we have no supported way to distribute Firefox's rendering and JavaScript engine to iPhone users. 
  However, you can download Firefox Home for iPhone (can work on iPad), an iOS app that uses Firefox Sync to deliver Firefox bookmarks, browsing history, and tabs to your iPhone or iPod Touch.
