Firefox for iOS – preview build launched

The first public preview of a Firefox browser for iOS has started rolling out in New Zealand.

Mozilla said it will collect feedback in the country before extending the availability of the preview build.

“Feedback from this preview release will help us build new features and bring Firefox for iOS to the App Store in the rest of the world later this year,” said Mozilla.

Among the features being tested in Firefox for iOS are:

• Intelligent search, which gives suggested search results and a choice of search providers.
• Firefox Accounts, which lets you synchronise your history, passwords, and tabs between your desktop and iOS devices.
• Visual tabs, which shows a thumbnail of the site open in a tab.

Those with access to the preview can send feedback to Mozilla from within the app.
