In the global settings page on the iPad, (this is where users can configure settings for each app.) there is an option for Firefox Home to "Use Safari". What does this setting actually do, or not do?

With Use Safari turned on, your tabs, bookmarks and any other links will open in Safari instead of the built-in web viewer.

Thanks, Verdi - the first time I enabled,/ or disabled, I hadn't realised what had actually changed, as I think I'm so used to seeing my links open in Safari anyway!
