A tweet from Mozilla has revealed that, after all this time they are going to bring their iconic browser to iOS. Originally Mozilla had stated they wouldn't bring Firefox to the platform due to Apple's restrictions on third-party web rendering engines.

However, the popularity of the platform has forced them to change their tune. Lukas Blakk, Mozilla release manager tweeted "We need to be where our users are so we're going to get firefox on iOS."

With the release of iOS 8, Apple has given developers full access to its speedy JavaScript engine which was previously a Safari exclusive.
