Can you run Firefox on in iPad Pro 2024? Even though I opened the website in Firefox it is still telling me that I am using safari and my video can not be run.

Due to Apple's restriction, every iOS browser uses the same engine under the hood. Every iOS browser is Safari with different frontend.

Yes the Firefox on iOS/iPadOS uses the WebKit layout engine instead of Gecko (that desktop and Android Firefox uses) due to Apple's platform requirement/restrictions. This is also why there are not Extensions for Firefox on iOS/iPadOS like there are for Android and desktop at addons.mozilla.org.
