In my old browser I could save a page directly from the browser to the iPhone's home screens. Can I do this with Firefox?

Can I make Firefox the default browser so if a link for example is clicked, Firefox opens rather than the old browser?

Okay...

1. No, at least for now. Also...

2. ...iOS doesn't allow you to change their default browser - Safari is stuck there (however you may manually send links from Safari to be opened in Firefox). Hence even if you have the ability to add something to the home screen when you open it it might open up in Safari ;; not really much point in having this function here.
