Mozilla's stance on a Firefox browser for the iPhone is not new. Essentially, the organization doesn't feel like it can build the browser it wants to for Apple's platform, Sullivan told CNET. The sticking point for Mozilla is not being able to carry over its sophisticated rendering and javascript engines to iOS. The nonprofit Mozilla, which pulled Mozilla Firefox Home from Apple's App Store in September 2012, is not currently building a version of its Firefox browser for iOS, nor does the company plan to, said Sullivan, speaking on a mobile browser wars panel at South by Southwest Interactive moderated by CNET Senior Reporter Seth Rosenblatt. CNET reports that during a talk at SXSW, Jay Sullivan, Mozilla's vice president of product, said that the company has no plans to release an iOS version of Firefox because of technological limitations imposed by Apple.
