I'm gonna dump Firefox if you don't come up with a way to support iPad 2.

When is Firefox going to support my iPad2? Right now, I have three devices. 1)PC Laptop 2)Android Smart Phone 3)iPad 2

Currently there is a very 'lazy' version of Firefox on my Droid and iPad.

Do you guys plan to fix this lazy version or are you on the way out???

Thanks, Scott

I'm pretty sure the day will come when we will see a full blown Firefox browser on iOS when Apple lessens its tight-grip on their stores policies. The iOS SDK agreement requires apps to use Apple's own JavaScript engine (or none at all, like Opera Mini which downloads pre-rendered pages from Opera's servers and cannot run JavaScript code in the client). Because of this, there is no supported way to distribute Firefox's rendering and JavaScript engine to iPhone users. Thus is the reason why you can not find Firefox proper on the App Store.

However, you can download Firefox Home for iPhone, an iOS app that uses Firefox Sync to deliver Firefox bookmarks, browsing history, and tabs to your iPhone or iPod Touch.
