    Firefox doesn’t support extensions on iOS. As it’s currently impossible. Due to Apple’s restrictions forcing the use of WebKit, this makes Firefox (Gecko) extensions incompatible. Additionally, Apple’s own extension system for WebKit is proprietary. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-ons-firefox-ios

    As far as features go, what can’t natively be done is handled with JavaScript injections. As WebKit allows you to do this. Since it’s locked down most take advantage of this. Naturally, injecting several functions can slow down the web experience. About the only feature IMO that will matter to most people is the ability to sync content. Such as passwords and browsing history.
