I want my passwords, bookmarks, tabs and history to synchronize with my iPad in an end-to-end-encrypted fashion. Are there currently any possibilities for this with Firefox? The current unsatisfactory options I know of are:

1. Bookmarks On The Go

An app mentioned by a previous question. Apparently developed by a Mozilla developer based on Firefox Sync's code, so it should be trustable. Doesn't seem to cover passwords and even if it did it wouldn't be able to provide autofill.

2. Dolphin, Mercury browsers for iOS

Dolphin used to provide synchronization with Firefox sync, but currently both Dolphin and Mercury use Desktop addons for synchronization. I couldn't find any information regarding encryption, but I'm pretty certain that these addon approaches undermine Firefox Sync's end-to-end encryption. For dolphin connect I could find a review saying that you have to specify a separate password for password synchronization, but overall the zero-knowledge approach is still undermined.

3. iCloud addon

Basically the same issues as with (2) and no password synchronization.

Sadly this seems to be a less trustable form of Bookmarks On The Go, sharing the limitations.

Apple's restrictions prevent us from bringing the current version of Firefox to iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch). We are researching new ways to make Firefox for iOS but there are no definite plans for a release at this time.
