  No. 3rd party browsers were allowed but they had to use WkWebView as engine.

  No, Mozilla developed a full Firefox for iOS in ~2010, and Apple flatly refused to put it on the AppStore.

    This was not a full Firefox, just a basic demo browser to showcase the port that TedM did. It was not even submitted to the app store.
