Sorry, there is no Firefox made for iOS used on Apple devices.

The mobile Firefox is for Android 2.2+ and the desktop Firefox is only provided for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX 10.6+

   We have no plans to release the full Firefox browser for iOS. The iOS SDK agreement requires apps to use Apple's own JavaScript engine ... Because of this, we have no supported way to distribute Firefox's rendering and JavaScript engine to iPhone users.


If you want to use you bookmarks that are in say desktop Firefox on iPad then https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bookmarks-on-the-go/id550037184
