    It’s about time. This has been a much needed feature since Firefox Android was first released. It basically is the only mobile browser that allows extensions.

      Actually, Firefox on Android did originally support desktop extensions when it was first released. But then they did a major rebuild of the app back in 2020 and lost its addons as a result.

      BTW, Kiwi browser (Chromium based) has had full extension support since 2018.

        Yeah. I was horrified when they basically broke extensions on mobile. And had no urgency to fix it. I personally would have said it’s not ready to replace the previous revision until it supports extensions…

        A 3-year gap in software is awful, it’s only forgivable because nobody else supports extensions. Except apparently kiwi browser
