Mozilla has begun the roll out in New Zealand of the first public preview version of a Firefox browser for iOS. With this first public preview, Mozilla will be collecting feedback in one country, before we extend availability to get feedback in a few more countries prior to a full public launch. The mobile browser is set to hit App Store in rest of the world later this year.

This preview release features Intelligent Search, which provides suggested search results and the choice of search providers.

With Firefox Accounts, you can take your Firefox browser history, passwords and tabs from your desktop to your iOS devices. The preview release of Firefox for iOS also includes Visual Tabs, an intuitive way to keep track of your open tabs.

You can share feedback directly with Mozilla in the app. To do this, tap the numeric tab icon on the top right of Firefox for iOS, tap the "Settings" menu on the top left and go to "Support" to send your feedback.

Mozilla hopes to have its version of Firefox for iOS devices out by year's end as part of its push to grow its share of mobile traffic.

Mozilla already offers Firefox on Android, but the OS makes up just a sliver of total Web traffic on mobile, easily surpassed by Google's Chrome browser and Apple's Safari, according to data from StatCounter.
