Highlights of Firefox for iOS

Firefox for iOS includes an intelligent search functionality that puts the user first, anticipating your moves and giving you several suggestions based on previous searches and uses search engines, for which easily accessible shortcuts are available.

Private browsing could not have been missed from Firefox for iOS, and it promises to keep your identity and personal information away from third-party eyes by deleting browsing history, cookies, passwords, and much more with a single press of a button. The Private Browsing functionality requires iOS 9 or later.

Among other features, Firefox for iOS lets users sync all of their bookmarks, browsing history, and open tabs from other devices where the Mozilla Firefox web browser is installed, provides intuitive visual tabs that are numbered, and lets you quickly access all of your most accessed websites.
