SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT FIREFOX HOME!
"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

This is currently an iPhone app
This is an iPhone app. Although it runs on an iPad, it does so with the iPhone's screen resolution. So, opening a URL in 2x mode gives poor screen legibility. It takes another step to open the URL in Safari.
If you have a lot of RSS feeds as Live Bookmarks on your desktop, you'll end up syncing several hundred URLs as "Unsorted Bookmarks," in addition to your Bookmarks Toolbar and Bookmarks Menu.
That being said, the sync feature works very well. My desktop Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar and Bookmarks Menu items are right there on my iPad - ready to be accessed.
Incredible
This app is incredible. Firefox is my preferred browser on my PC. Now I can sync it with my iPhone. All the tabs, bookmarks and links are there. I think that all of the one-star reviews are from those that could not figure out how to set it up. Once set up (for free) it syncs perfectly. I love it. Thanks Mozilla.
Finally
Finally the sync is fixed with the updated release....at least for me!
