Apple started supporting Content Blocker filtering in iOS 11 with Safari 11 (https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/General/WhatsNewInSafari/Safari_11_0/Safari_11_0.html) so I think Firefox could finally made the necessary changes to support it.

Agreed. It's presumably on our 'Research' card under 'new APIs' on Trello, but maybe we want a more refined card?
