Firefox for iOS on GitHub
They have a choice, they can not release a browser for iOS.

There was one made about four years ago. Hardly anybody used it because hardly anybody jailbreaks their phones.

AFAIK, they never did. They did a launcher application that was sync-compatible to access all you bookmarks, etc.

It was built. Yesterday I was in the same room as the guy who built it. It was never officially released, however, due to the jailbreaking requirement.
Officially, there was Firefox Home, which was just a bookmarking thing and not a full browser.

It was barely gecko being ported. It had nothing close to a usable mobile UI.
