Sadly only Firefox for Android does this.
I was seriously surprised to find Firefox on Ios to be so severely crippled.

If something is crippled in Firefox for iOS, nine out of ten times it is because Apple severely limited the exposed APIs of WKWebView. All browsers that are based on WKWebView are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

As I understand, Firefox on iOS is simply a privacy-protecting wrapper around iOS's built-in browser.
