      FF on iOS has not been given a lot of attention for a long time. Apparently this has changed, however I’m yet to see that and the issues I have with FF on iOS keeps me away. Some people try to defend Mozilla and blame Apple - and of cause there is some blame there - but other iOS browsers, including Safari, does a much better job. I’m on Vivaldi for that reason, with the latest version 8 have fixed the few annoying issues I had with it.

        Isn’t that just because iOS rules mean Firefox is just reskinned Safari? Or do Apple allow other browser engines now?

          That’s what people keep saying (and yes, only in the EU are alternative browser engines allowed), however other browsers on iOS can create a decent browser experience. A few things that aren’t supported on FF iOS, that IMO should have been available a long time ago and stops me from using FF anywhere as I want syn mobile with my desktop browser:

          • Rearrange icons (web site shortcuts) on the FF Start Page. Also, not synced
          • Very limited custom search engine settings (no search suggestions supported, very few search engines to choose from)
          • No auto close old inactive tabs

        For some reason, mobile FF is so bad on iOS, I keep it only to send links to my desktop or laptop.

        I have uBlockOriginLite working with Safari on iOS just fine. I don’t use Firefox much on mobile because Safari works fine for me in that context but I assume it would work in Firefox too.

          I use Vivaldi because I’m also synchronising with Linux. Had it just been a Mac, I would been perfectly fine with Safari. I think Safari is the best browser on iOS, using Wipr with it. Safari is just so polished and it has just the features I and less cluttered than all the other browsers and everything is silky smooth and load times are super fast.
