Mozilla did have a browser experiment for iOS called Junior a couple years ago however it did not have the familiar JavaScript and Gecko engines used by Firefox due to Apple's restrictions.

hello, due to apple's restrictive policies it is unfortunately not possible to implement & offer independent third-party browsers for idevices.
mozilla is prohibited to bring the rendering & javascript engine of firefox onto iOS, since apple is only allowing the use of its own webkit in the terms & conditions for developers - as long as this is the case, firefox and its addon ecosystem cannot be ported to iOS devices.
