When I tried to install Firefox sync it said it was not compatible with firefox 25.0.1. Mac 10.6.8 is the most my system can handle.

I have an iphone 4 running iOS 7.0.3.

I want to use firefox on my iphone and believe i need to install Firefox Sync to accomplish this. Is there anyway where i can run firefox on my iphone?

Syncing between the Mac and the iphone would be good but is not essential.

hello, due to apple's restrictive policies it is unfortunately not possible to implement & offer independent third-party browsers for idevices.
mozilla is prohibited to bring the rendering & javascript engine of firefox onto iOS, since apple is only allowing the use of its own webkit in the terms & conditions for developers - as long as this is the case, firefox and its addon ecosystem cannot be ported to iOS devices.

This is disappointing, but thank you very much for your time. This will save me many hours of frustration.
