You're on about regular Firefox, not iOS Firefox which is just a UI wrapped around a WebKit component.

All of those features are possible on iOS via webkit.
Regarding mobile browsers specifically, their advantage over Safari here is blocking cryptominer scripts and autoplay videos: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browsers/mobile/compar...

Adblocking only works* on vanilla Safari. I haven't gotten it to work on Firefox for iOS.
* For some degree of "works", ublock origin is way better

iOS as blocking isn't anywhere near as powerful as Firefox extensions, not what it will eventually need to be.

The colorways were an antifeature to me (seriously what's the point of introducing a feature when you're already planning to drop it 2 months later) and I'm still waiting for real containers on mobile (the fb one is useless to me as I don't use Facebook) but the other features yeah they're great
- it protects what's important
- you can "Personalize your experience with new colorways."
- has Facebook Container
- syncs across your devices
Mozilla knows the actual engine isn't the deciding factor when trying to get people to change browsers.
