  Opera Mobile (Opera's much more comprehensive browser) isn't and for the same reason Firefox and Chrome aren't: Apple iOS ban on third-party interpreters of downloadable code (in the case of a browser, JavaScript). On iOS, the third-party browsers that are available are crippled (no client-side JavaScript unless you use Apple's implementation). And even those crippled browsers, like Opera Mini, can't be set as the default browser (e.g. for when you click on a link in an email).

  You can't make it the default app for links which is ultimately what firefox will be fighting for.

  It still uses the Safari rendering engine, because Apple mandates it.

    No, Opera Mini doesn't use Safari. The reason for this is that with Opera Mini, the rendering engine isn't on the browser - it's on the server. This is what enables Opera to ship Mini as a tiny client, on a wide range of different devices. There's a bit more info about this here: http://www.opera.com/mobile/specs/ http://www.opera.com/mobile/specs/ In particular, "The rendering engine is on Opera’s server."
