Firefox's UserAgent on iPad OS is displayed as "safari". I can't distinguish between safari and Firefox. How can I judge as Firefox?

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_4) applewebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/13.1 Safari/605.1.15

Hi, I think that this is due a lot of compatibility issues.

Also note that you can't have a different browser engine on iPad, due to Apple restrictions. All browsers have the same engine, but different skin.
