What exactly is there to port anyway?
The rendering engine.
Currently Firefox on iOS is "just" a skin around the iOS provided renderer.
I don't give a mousefuck about the rendering engine. I want extensions
Sounds like you do care about the rendering engine as that would basically give you a true mobile Firefox experience and access to all the extensions.
Gecko, the browser engine?
GeckoView more specifically in this case. But yes.
But they do have mobile arm builds already don't they? Of course iOS is very different from Android but it's not like they'd have to do complete port. And it targets the same architecture that's in macs and they have builds for it obviously.
