    Browsers can now run their own rendering engines, which are sandboxed at the app level.

    System-level HTML, like web apps on the home screen, are still using WebKit.

        Mozilla would have to update the iOS app to both run their engine and accept their plugins.

        But it will never be like the Android app because the iOS app will still be sandboxed and not allowed to run code outside of itself.
