We’ve known that Mozilla’s Firefox browser is coming to iOS devices for some time now, but it’s been a while since we’ve heard any updates until today. Spotted by TechCrunch, there’s now an invite request page asking for a few details if you want a chance at testing it out, like which device you use, and how proficient an iOS app user you consider yourself to be. To be in with a shot of beta testing, you’ll need an iPhone or iPad running iOS 8 or newer. This still doesn’t mean a full release is any nearer, but a public beta probably isn’t…

We first wrote about Kwilt last November when it debuted as an online aggregator offering photo editing and collage capabilities. The concept is to take control of a plethora of digital photos scattered across the internet to create a giant camera roll — bringing all your photos together in one place from devices, cloud-based platforms and social networks. The app does not store images, but accesses them from wherever they reside. A new version of Kwilt, launching today, features an overhaul of the user interface aimed at making the app easier to use, with an updated collage creator. The app had already let you stream photos from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Photobucket, Flickr, OneDrive,…

As with all cards, the ads work on both mobile and desktop, and advertisers can link the feeds directly to the Google Merchant Center.…

Outlook.com is getting a big revamp today. Microsoft is slowly rolling out a huge preview update for the email service. There are a ton of new features. First off, as we reported a few days ago, Microsoft’s Clutter tool that separates your non-essential email from your most important emails will now be enabled by default for all users. As a reminder, you can help train Clutter by manually dragging messages into the Clutter folder. Outlook will also now be able to throw out search suggestions as you type, allowing you to refine your search based on sender, folder, date and…
