From the early days, Mozilla has been focused on empowering users across platforms and devices. We released Firefox Home as an experiment in bringing a part of the Firefox experience to iOS, focusing on Firefox Sync. This project provided valuable insight and experience with the platform, but we have decided to remove Firefox Home from the Apple App Store and focus our resources on other projects.
For those interested in continuing to use or improve the iOS Sync client that Firefox Home is built on, we have made the source available on GitHub, free of Mozilla trademarks and ready for independent development. As with all Mozilla projects, we ask developers to be aware of the Mozilla trademark policy.
We remain committed to providing compelling user experiences across as many platforms and devices as possible and will continue to explore the best ways to provide great experiences to iOS users.

HONG KONG (Reuters) – Two Chinese appliance and electronics retailers, regarded by some as the country’s answers to Best Buy Co Inc , are racing to beef up their e-commerce arms and tap the booming but highly competitive online retail market.
Although relative latecomers to the game, analysts say the moves by Suning Appliance Co Ltd <002024.SZ> and GOME Electrical Appliances Holdings Ltd <0493.HK> are still timely. The companies can capitalize on e-commerce to broaden their customer bases at a time when appliance demand has been damped by a slowdown in China’s housing market, they said.
