The user agent for firefox on iOS no longer includes "FxiOS", this has broken functionality in one of my apps that depends on user agent. Is there a reason for this change? Anyone else having this issue? It was working on version 115. There doesnt seem to be an identifier in the user agent anymore that points to this being a firefox browser.

I researched this over on the Github repo for Firefox for iOS.

It was changed to fix a problem with videos not playing on nba.com:

But you are not the only person unhappy with the change, as a new issue has been opened:

https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/15938

You could add to that thread explaining why the FxiOS was important for your app.
