Apple does not allow any rendering engines or runtimes apart from their own. Firefox on iOS is just Safari under the hood, and all Mozilla contributes is the user interface.
Apple does this for a few reasons:
1) to prevent web apps from gaining a foothold. Modern web standards aim to provide native-like utility, performance, look, and feel. Apple purposefully holds their device back so companies are compelled to deploy native apps.
2) to prevent Google from taking over their platform. Chrome could give Safari a run for its money and "steal" user attention away from Apple's key platform pieces, providing a foothold for Google on iOS.
