What's the difference between this version of Firefox and the version of Firefox that can be installed on an iPad? I have been running Firefox on Apple silicon for some time I thought.

Unless I'm mistaken, the rendering engine on iOS would only be WebKit, and whatever else safari provides. No alternative aloud. So it's ui/features on top of, essentially, Safari not real Firefox.

  Gotcha, thanks. Just got the thing so I didn't realize that was the case. I suppose it's not overly surprising, knowing Apple. I doubt they would allow real Firefox on an iPad even though it technically can probably run on it now.

The Firefox you can install on an iPad is a mobile Firefox, designed for iPhone and iPad. This is desktop Firefox, the one you get on a Mac/PC. Also, because of the App Store rules, the mobile version uses WebKit instead of Gecko.
