I am trying to install an adblocking extension on Firefox for iOS. However, it tells me I have to download Firefox to use the extension. When I hit download, it brings me to the AppStore page for the app, which shows I have it downloaded and can open it. What is it trying to get me to do?

Hi

Add-ons for the desktop and Android version of Firefox are unavailable for Firefox for iOS.

Apple has created a proprietary iOS extension system which is incompatible with Firefox add-ons and extensions for Android, Mac, Windows and Linux. Also, iOS extensions written for other iOS apps won't work on Firefox for iOS (for example extensions written for Safari won't automatically work on Firefox for iOS).
