Mozilla has added widget support, new search features and security provisions to the iOS version of the Firefox web browser.
Firefox iOS 4.0 is now compatible with the ‘iOS Today’ widget in the notification centre. Users on iPhone and iPad can open copied URLS or open new tabs directly from within the widget, saving time and ensuring rapid access to information.
However this feature is only supported in iOS 9.0 onwards.
Other additions include the ability to search bookmarks and history from within the smart URL bar and the browser will now sync upon exit.
“We’re always focused on making the best Firefox experience we can offer,” said Mozilla. “We want to give you complete control over your web experience, while also making sure to protect your privacy and security the best we can. Today, we’re pleased to share an update to Firefox for iOS that gives you a more streamlined experience and that allows for more control over your mobile browsing experience.”
The first version of Firefox iOS was released at the back end of last year, offering many of the same features as other mobile and desktop versions, including tabs, private browsing and the ability to sync history, bookmarks and passwords across multiple devices. It competes with Google Chrome, Opera and Apple’s Safari browser on the platform, the latter of which comes pre-installed.
