No Firefox on iOS.  Apple won't let them use any rendering engine other
than the one that came with the operating system, and the Mozilla
Foundation won't agree to do that.  It was all over the tech news last year.

The built-in rendering engine for iOS browsers is vanilla Webkit.  I only
tested on Chrome's Webkit fork (where everything worked much the
same as it did in Firefox).  It'll probably be all right, but without checking
I'm not willing to guarantee that.  (And I don't know the age/size of the
device or the version of iOS, either.)
