On iOS the browser isn’t really Firefox. It’s just a re-skinned Safari due to apples rules. I think now they are allowed to ship their own engines

They are but it's not ready AFAIK https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1882872

Can't wait to use it though and be able to install WebExtensions.

Yeah but the thread is talking about picking the default browser on Android. Which is unrelated to this post. iOS users can set the default browser... The user simply commented that they have been able to do that for a long time.
