"Can’t remember where you saw that important story just before you left
the office? Open the app and check your history. Want a shortcut to save
you from typing a long URL on the iPhone or iPod Touch? Open the app.
(As a bonus, on my tests, it opened Web pages faster than Safari.)"

"If you're at all like me and leave dozens (or more!) tabs open on your
home machine, you'll definitely like the convenience of being able to
access something you left open while you're on the go." -- ars technica

Customer Reviews
Not a full browser, but pretty good
This is a good app. No, it's not a full featured browser, but it does a very good job synching with my bookmarks.
Great WebTool
The bad reviews r obviously people who don't know. I've been using FF Sync (Weave) since beginning. Now I can take advantage of it on my phone. Great Job!!
Horrible.
If this actually worked it would be a dream come true. An easy way to share websites and photos from my browser to someone with another iPhone without the ungainly process of emailing the link to myself or painstakingly typing in the web address on my phone.
But it doesn't work. Not as intended and not after exhausting the paltry offerings of knowledge on Mozilla's support site. The experience was so frustrating that I actually felt compelled to go out of my way to write a bad review and warn others away from even bothering to download it.
If only Mozilla would get back in the habit of releasing final products that aren't nearly as glitchy and non functional as their early Betas.
