Updating Firefox on iOS is the same as other apps on iOS. If there is an update available, it will appear in the updates tab in the app store, and you just tap the Update button next to it.
There's a tutorial at http://www.wikihow.com/Update-Apps-on-an-iPad that should help.
Is that what you were looking for?
Hi Chris thank you for your reply , but as much as you are correct firefox does regular updates IOS does not ,the last update on IOS was the 2nd of April but there has been updates since on the windows platform is there any other way of keeping firefox up to date rather than waiting for IOS to push the update through thanks Mark
Updates on the iOS version have nothing to do with updates on the Windows version. For example, the latest version for Windows is 45.0.2, and the latest version for iOS is 3.0. If you have 3.0 on your ipad, then you have the latest update for Firefox on iOS. :)
Hi Chris , thank you i didn't realise that , but unfortunately it doesn't solve my problem , im from ireland and we use a american p.o.s that runs through firefox i can access this on my surface pro and its fantastic , when accessing the p.o.s on my ipad air their is a red box telling me that you are running on firefox already but their is a newer version of firefox available i then check my IOS up dates and there is no update for firefox.
The Firefox for iOS is a shell browser and only first came out back in September 2015 in New Zealand iOS app store in testing and then for many other markets on November 12, 2015 which is why it has a low version number of 3.0 currently.

I can't update Firefox for iOS on iPad. How do I get to update 9 or 10? How to set it to homepage?
The latest version (as of Aug 6, 2016) is 5.0. There is no 9 or 10. If you have 5.0 and think there is an update you can't get, don't worry, you've already got the latest version. :)
