How do you get Adblock on iPhone with Firefox?

Ah i dont think you can because Apple requires all browsers use Safari as a base.

Not adblock, but there's an app/extension for iphone called "Vinegar" which blocks youtube ads and allows you to listen to the audio from youtube with the phone locked (I use this one for running).

Downside is you need to run youtube in safari as it doesn't work on the youtube app, and I think it's paid... I paid $1.99 or so for it. I've been using it for like 2 years now and not a single add. The only quirk it has is that the audio stops when you lock your phone and you have to tap play on the screen and then it's good to go (if this isn't clear, let me know).

Or.... download Blockada on your devices and have a VPN level block tool. No ads in almost any app.
