As an iOS user and long time Firefox user (never switched to chrome in my life) I feel jealous. But one can only hope that we too in the APPLE walled garden won't be left behind. Though I understand that it would be a long shot. :(

Oh my goodness that would be amazing. I’ll drop safari in an instant.
But not on ios....How do we get adblocking in ios?
Firefox on iOS is just safari with a Firefox logo
The weird thing is Safari has extensions
you're buying the wrong phone. this is a limitation imposed only by apple, forcing every browser on iOS to be Safari re-skinned
Does this mean that the storage API will finally be available on mobile? At the moment this is probably my biggest annoyance since I have to manually transfer allow lists for various extensions across desktop and mobile.
Awesome!
I also hope that someday mobile firefox has tagging functionality like on desktop (and tags are synch-able, like bookmarks)
This is awesome!
Iceraven already has extensions so it's not the first.
Kiwi already does
Stop lying, Kiwi has been around for so long
Test
I've been using Kiwi browser for ages and it's had extension support the entire time since I quit using Firefox on mobile. I would still be using Firefox if it hadn't just kept randomly not loading pages anymore and requiring a restart, because it did at least support the one extension I can't live without; ublock origin, but the bugs were just too much. I might give Firefox mobile another shot when this new version hits stable release.
