iOS Browser Detection

[njoye]

On iOS Safari getBrowser() would return "iPhone" as Browser and (for me) "9.0" as Version, which is actually enough for my purposes, but it could still be a problem for developers that need to go further than me in detecting Browsers. But using Mozilla Firefox on iOS, again the function returns "iPhone", but isn't able to detect the Version, therefore returns "unknown". I didn't test it for other Browsers on iOS but i'm assuming that it's not possible to detect the specific browser as well.
Tested on an iPhone SE (iOS 9.3.5, newest versions of Firefox and (obviously) Safari, atm)

Hello, same problem.
I try to detect Firefox on iOS and it returns me Iphone.
Also, i use a script to add an opensearch service, and when i try to use it on firefox iOS, it tells me that i'm not on a mozilla platform. I have no problem on Firefox mobile on Android, detection and opensearch service works great.

This User Agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 11_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/11.0 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1

Is shown as iPhone browser name instead of Safari.

@iwecon - the latest version fixes the firefox on ios issue or at least should; I'll build tests for it but you should be okay now. I'll circle back w/ tests before I close this.
