We suspect the fact it’ll allow you to shift browsing sessions over to Safari will be looked upon favorably, but there’s no escaping the fact that Firefox Home will still browse the web for you should you wish it. This is going to be a highly entertaining approval process indeed. Your move, Cupertino.
