Firefox on iOS doesn’t offer any ad blocking. Vivaldi (and several other) Chromium browsers do. So for a good chunk of the mobile community, Firefox is not the best option.
Blame Apple for that, as for the longest time they only allowed using the Safari engine on iOS. Apparently that's still the case outside the EU now, meaning Mozilla would need to maintain two versions on iOS.
On any other operating system, Firefox is by far the best at blocking ads with uBlock Origin.

Why bother? Chromium browsers suck.

you can enable ublock in chrome by downloading firefox from chrome, installing it, then installing ublock in firefox and finally removing chrome

Let it go bro. Just switch to Firefox & co. Or at least use it less for something that does not require ad-blocking.

The UBlock Origin Lite app (currently in Testflight beta but seems to be full, but hopefully coming to the app store soon) works great with iOS Safari. I use that on iOS and Firefox on the desktop, which turns out to be a great combo if you have password and bookmark management separate.
Firefox Focus is also great as the default browser on the phone to avoid links opening from Meta or Google in Safari.
Running the «Always in Container» extension in Firefox gives the same effect on desktop and avoids opening a link in the wrong container. Highly recommended: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/always-in-container/

People will do anything, but use Firefox
My employer uses Google Workspace for everything (email, calendar, video, etc) so we pretty much have to use Chrome for that stuff. I still use Firefox where I can…

Alternatively, you could use a browser instead of an advertisement delivery app.

Is the uBlock Origin Lite TestFlight app only for Safari or is it system wide?
I'd love to benefit from it while using Firefox on iOS.

Yep, I wish Firefox stepped up in this matter, since their competition can implement decent adblockers on iOS, while dealing with the exact same limitations Apple has set.

Use librewolf or fennec (Firefox forks)

Ios is never going to allow this.
The best option is pihole and vpnAds are necessary curse for humanity. The general mass will never switch to open source or challenging alternatives and it sux

You can, but you should just switch to Firefox or accept ads in Chromium Browsers.
I can imagine that in the long run it will get harder for their forks to block ads with any extension.
I can't wait for Ladybird in the future
.There is no such option "accepting ads". I will do everything in my power to block any type of ad in every device i own, no matter the diffuculty.

On iOS the Orion browser lets you use Firefox or chrome mods.

I hate chrome with a passion and it really sucks that Firefox isn't as convenient for profiles, a feature I rely heavily on, although, I'm still switching. fuck ads and fuck data harvesting, I'd rather have a slightly less performant browser than be visually assaulted and have my performance tank.

Apple limits mobile browsers a shit ton. When you get Firefox on iOS, you don't get Firefox, you get what's basically a safari front end. This is the reason you can install uBlock Origin or other extensions on the android version of Firefox, but be unable on the iOS version.
