A few days ago I found a news article I wished to share with my local friend in China via WeChat from my Ipad. The only share links on the news web pages only seemed to use Pinterest, FB or email. Being in China rules out the 1st 2!! I queried the Guardian news web site on this, and they suggested using sheet sharing. They even supplied a link to 'Mashable' where there was a quite detailed explantion on how to configure Ipad/Iphone Apps to make better use of IOS share features - but none of the explanation seemed to apply to Firefox. I have hunted around and can find no mention of this feature in Firefox 'Help' system.. If it helps I have IOS 12; unable to find Firefox version.

Thanks for this Chris. I had tried your method but found that the available Apps under the share tool was very limited. I clicked 'More' to see what that offered and found nothing useful. After a long rest from my initial attempts I found an article which explained how to to this with Safari. Open the Share tool and select your Apps. I did this and selected WeChat and Firefox. When I next opened Firefox I was able to find WeChat listed under the Share tool. So, problem solved - somehow!!

Hi Peter, To share a page in Firefox, tap on the three dots in the top-right corner, then tap on Share Page With. I've attached screenshots to help you find them.
