If you have an iPhone 15 Pro or later with iOS 26+, the summary is created on your device using Apple Intelligence. On other devices with earlier iOS versions, the page text is sent securely to Mozilla cloud-based AI, which creates the summary and sends it back.

iPhone has about:config?

I don't use iOS, so I don't know for sure, but I assume yes. The Fennec build does on Android. I'm currently using the official Mozilla Firefox build on Android because of the Fennec guys breaking their build, and it looks like they only have it enabled by default in the nightly and dev builds...but it's present in the regular builds as well, just off by default, and you can flip it on.

You need to go to chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml, and it'll have said advanced settings. By default, Firefox-on-Android will eat the chrome:// bit if you paste it into the field, so you want to be sure to have that there.

There's also a setting there, general.aboutConfig.enable. If you set that to True, it'll make about:config also go to the advanced settings page.

I'm surprised you (incorrectly) assume that iOS build (which, per Apple's regulations, is just a Safari with a different skin on top of it) comes with a feature that's not available on the main Android build unless you jump through hoops.
