> mozilla and google still wont invest in a browser engine port Gecko runs just fine on iOS.

  Wait, this is news to me. I was under the (probably erroneous) assumption that Firefox on iOS was running under webkit. Am I wrong?

    Firefox for iOS is built on WebKit. Gecko runs just fine on iOS; it just isn't deployed.

      Took a few Google search iterations but I found this: https://hg.mozilla.org/users/tmielczarek_mozilla.com/gecko-ios/ https://hg.mozilla.org/users/tmielczarek_mozilla.com/gecko-i... That's neat. Looks like the last commit was in 2015. Is there any backstory to this project? Was it just research? Is it abandoned?

        Looks like it was abandoned. One of the last commits was “Disable the JIT on iOS because it’s busted”.
