Maybe a dub question
I have been circling around the Internet to find info about Firefox for IPad Gives impression it is available but cannot find a download? A simple question please is it available at of August 15 2013? Thank you in advance for a straightforward answer

hello, due to apple's restrictive policies it is 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.
