I have a question about the Tracking Protection in Private Browsing on iOS. I was just reading the documentation found here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tracking-protection-pbm about what is coming in version 43 for the desktop.

And it made me wonder if the functionality is the same on iOS? Or if it is a scaled down version, less strict and less customisable? I think it is kind of important, since there is no way to add third party extensions or ad-blockers to anything except Safari. But I would need Firefox on iOS to have a flitering option, if I am gonna be able to use it. Since you can't even turn of JavaScript all together.

Oops! Right now , there's tracking protection only for Android and desktop versions of Firefox. So yeah, you were right.

Thank you for the link, I have seen it.

But what I am still interested in knowing, is if it works the exact same way. My experience is that when it comes to iOS, there are different rules and things almost always come with limitations. My suspicion is that it might be as "powerful" as the desktop browser...

I hoping I am wrong.
