Being able to Synchronize iPhone and Firefox Bookmarks has been a recurring missing feature since the iPhone was released
Luckily, Mozilla released Firefox Home, a pretty neat app that makes iPhone and Firefox Bookmarks synchronization a snap
Accessorily, it also allows to synchronize Firefox History and Open tabs between iPhone and computer
Great !
Let's see how to get started
- On your computer, start by downloading the latest Firefox version from here and install it
- Open Firefox and go to Tools -> Set Up Sync -> Create a New Account
- On your iPhone, look for Firefox Home in the App Store and download it
- Launch Firefox Home from your iPhone and enter the Sync info you just created on your PC
- Finally, tap Done and wait until complete synchronization
You're all set !
Your bookmarks will now flawlessly keep being synchronized between iPhone and computer and other devices you may have such as iPad
