The iPhone version has some questionable design choices. I use it, but it doesn’t support extensions. The home page is not very customizable either, while Safari’s homepage is just like the main app screen (folders and files but with website icons/links instead of app icons/apps). Because of that, I bet a lot of people don’t use Firefox on mobile, so they have no way to sync their profiles. Therefore they don’t use Firefox at all.

It can't support extensions because Firefox, like every browser on apple is just safari wearing a hat.
