On my iPad the screen is littered with ads. On my desktop I use Ad Block Ultimate. I don't seem to be able to find it for the iPad. Does it exists? Thanks, Fred

There is no such thing as a true Firefox browser for iOS. Apple won't let any browser other than Safari run on their mobile devices. So other browsers (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) can only run by calling up Safari and adding a webkit that changes the appearance of Safari and adds some small amount of functionality.

“ AdBlock comes with a Safari Content Blocker that lets you block ads and various malicious websites on Safari Mobile Browser.”

What am I missing? The above statement, from the app store, implies it is Safari specific. I am looking for a FireFox blocker.

Thanks, Fred
