Firefox for iOS now available

Since Firefox must use the same WebKit renderer on iOS that Chrome does, then it likely suffers from the same problem.

Of course, there might be a difference between UIWebView and WKWebView, and I don't know which Firefox is using.

Firefox is using the newer WKWebView, unlike Chrome.

Here is the relevant Chromium issue tracking the move to WKWebView: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=423444

That link also lists a hand full of Radars filed which are preventing the iOS Chrome team from moving to WKWebView.
