The main reason I still use Safari on iOS / iPadOS is that there are good ad-blocking options available to Safari but not to Firefox.

Firefox Focus seems to have a capable ad-blocker included, but this is not available for the standard Firefox app to use.

It would be great if Firefox included an option to use the Firefox Focus ad-blocker in its settings.

Almost 2025, still no ad-blocking or extension support. I am interested to hear from Mozilla on what they think is their way of competing with better browsers on the market.

Every time I go looking for updates on whether they added adblocking to mobile it's always no. Seems like an absolute no-brainer so this is wild it's still not done.

Yeah so frustrating, there are not even Firefox sync compatible alternatives on iOS but syncing between mobile and desktop is such a core and key feature that everyone expects same with ad-blocking being more and more of a necessity nowadays I don’t understand how we cannot have ad-block on Firefox when almost ALL other browsers support it Brave, Safari, Vivaldi, even Arc has a basic (not great) implementation. We NEED ad-block as otherwise we make people use a different browser on both mobile and desktop.

Is Mozilla contractually bound in some way against implementing ad blocking and other key features?

As @KMC said, It seems reasonable to assume that the reason an ad blocker hasn’t been implemented yet might have something to do with a contract or agreement with Apple, or something along those lines.

I think it would be really helpful for the community if someone could provide a clearer explanation of the situation.

Best.
