I'm the creator of the Repibox recipe extension and it looks like it's working on Firefox mobile without me having to do anything. Pretty cool!
Shameless plug, Repibox is a recipe extension that immediately pulls the recipe into a modal on top of the page. You can add it to Firefox by going to Repibox.com

I built an extension called Repibox that pulls the recipe out of any website that has instructions/ingredients in the meta data and displays it immediately. First time I got an acquisition email was exciting, but then I realized any acquisition would do a disservice to my friends/family who use my extension.

Very cool project, I launched a similar project called Repibox.com that works on chrome and firefox. However, I like how you got this working for iOS, which is something I didn't get to do. Also, your layout is very clean. Well done!

Not yet, but you can scan the QR code to send the recipe to your phone.

Hi HN,
I built Repibox as a way of improving the user experience when interacting with recipe sites.
I wanted to spend spend less time scrolling and more time cooking. This meant creating a straightforward UX that would let you read recipes in a consistent simple format.
When I started on this journey, I learned many things from friends and family who like to cook, but approach cooking in slightly different ways. For example, I was surprised by the number of people who requested a print icon to print and were unfamiliar with CMD+P or print in the browser menu. Another surprise was a lot of people still wanted to read the main recipe article or comments, so creating a straightforward way to minimize the recipe card modal was essential.
Current features include:
• Pretty formatting of ingredients and instructions
• Easy access to serving size and time estimates
• Print and copy functions
• Share to your device via QR code
