Re:Introducing Ad Blocker for Firefox on iOS on Thursday September 03, 2026 @03:49PM (#49555769)
This is different because Firefox Focus, a separate app, only blocks ads while using Firefox Focus. Firefox Focus can also be set as a Safari Content Blocker which allows Safari to benefit from Firefox Focus's ad blocking. (It's not the best ad blocker, I've found wBlock - https://github.com/0xCUB3/wBlock - is more effective, anecdotally and via adblock.turtlecute.org)

Regular Firefox (non-Focus, the app from the article) can not benefit from Safari Content Blockers, and therefore does not benefit from Firefox Focus's ad blocking.

I think gp means the other way: Firefox can not use Safari's content blockers to benefit from them.
