I have an iPad 1 and the only thing that really does not work is the old Safari Browser. You know that Apple has stopped updating iOS for these iPads long ago. So I am stuck with iOS 5.something. If someone like mozilla is already having the source code of modern browsers, it can not be so hard to edit a version for these machines. I wonder why nobody does that. Do I have to write my own software to be able to use my device in the future?

The Firefox shell for iOS devices required iOS 8.2 at minimum when it was first released in Nov 2015 and even then you needed iOS 9+ to fully use some features such a Private browsing mode then.

Firefox 1.1 was released globally Nov 11, 2015 and not in limited market as 1.0 was.

from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/ios/1.1/system-requirements/ iOS 8.2+ iOS 9

The current Firefox 12.0 for iOS requires iOS 10.3 at minimum. The link for 12.0 does not exist so here is one for Firefox 11.0 for iOS. https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/ios/11.0/system-requirements/

The Firefox for iOS is more of a shell as it does not use the rendering and JavaScript engines that Firefox for Android and desktop uses thanks to Apple's restrictions on what can be used.

Hi James, thank you very much for your competent reply to my question. But as a matter of fact that does not solve my problem. Although you are right with everything you say, you did not explain why it was not possible to include the older iOS machines like iPad 1. It can not be such an abnormal project to to that. Do you just think people like me are not important? iPad 1 users are not worth the work? kind regards
