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.)" -- New York Times: Gadgetwise http://nyti.ms/duMTDu

"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 http://bit.ly/d1FsXH
