It is not. The "long" s looks like an f except there is no cross bar, or the cross bar does not extend all the way through the stem. It was used primarily, like the German character that looks like an upper-case B, for the first of a double ss; but also before t and other consonants. It was not used at the end of a word. It is fun, of course, to pronounce the long s as an f, especially in phrases like "I lay my head upon my miftreff's breaft."
