Not sure you can really blame android, when Android allows Firefox as a first class replacement for Chrome and with ease for the user, whereas iOS doesn't even allow the real Firefox. iOS is a very important platform for Firefox, so apples anti-competitive behavior in this regard really undermines firefox's future. I'm very sad that this issue has not come up in all of the debate about the app store.

~98% of Androids use the default browser, which is an incredible amount of people, like in the billions. We tend to forget iOS is a minority worldwide.

  But Mozilla is big in the same markets where iOS is big.

  Not sure it's reasonable to ask a for-profit company to do more than make it easily and fully changeable. Neither Microsoft nor Apple come close to that.
