1459835 - Use Firefox as Safari blocker just like Focus app

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox for iOS :: General, defect, P3)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20180404120016

Steps to reproduce:

Since Firefox ships the same "Tracking Protection" list as Focus, I went to the Safari settings to use "Firefox" as the blocker app, just like Focus does. 


Actual results:

There is no listing for Firefox as a Safari blocker.


Expected results:

Firefox should be available as a Safari blocker app because
1. It ships the exact same list as Focus does.
2. If I have regular Firefox installed, there is less incentive for me to use Focus.
3. Having regular Firefox doesn't mean I won't use Safari. Since Safari is tied to iOS, it is useful to use the tracking/ad blocker from Firefox in Safari too (including Safari controller view) and there won't be need to keep a separate blocker app for the same.
