I’d like the feature found in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-third-party-cookies to be applied to iOS.

In addition, when asking this “question”, I was given a very lengthy list of exactly three category options for Firefox for iOS. “Install and updates” was the closest category.

This feature called “Tracking Protection”. So, on iPhone I found only way to turn than on, by default it is enabled. Tap three lines at the right corner under all page and go to the Settings, then find and go to the “Tracking Protection” in Privacy section .
