What do you mean? How does Firefox behave on iOS? There is no extension support, or what? (I've never used iOS.)

Browsers on iOS just use WebKit. So chromium or quantum aren’t allowed. So all the work Firefox is doing for android isn’t compatible

yeah, i don’t think the app store allows it. or it may be related to the fact that firefox has to use the safari engine on ios

Whaaaat? Damn.

Nowadays I tend to feel fed up with Android and switching to iOS crosses my mind sometimes, but the more I hear about iOS, the more I appreciate Android.

Seriously, WTF?! A web browser is a pretty essential tool, I can't believe a real Firefox version cannot be installed.

I guess, my long term solution will be some Android-fork.
