earlier, we could use extensions(except for 7-8 highly poplar ones) with an account containing add-ons collection(in nightly versions). But now it’s coming to beta and stable as well.

Extend your experience by not locking in to a vendor.

So many forks of the Android Firefox browser allow desktop extensions - just not the main one.

I am using mull and iceraven at the moment. but it’s nice to have that support in the official version. :)

Iceraven seems alright, but I’d point you towards Mulch as a substitute for Android System Webview (the browser that apps use when they are not themselves a web browser).

Mull and Mulch come preinstalled in the DivestOS ROM.

I’ve been using Ruffle (https://ruffle.rs/) to play Flash games on mobile for a while. Nice to see I finally won’t have to jump through hoops to put Firefox Nightly into developer mode and force it to install an extension not in the pre-approved list. Maybe it’ll even work on websites this time like it does on desktop and I won’t have to copy Flash URLs into the extension page!

I literally just need the libredirect extension and I’ll be happy for a long while.

That’s the first one I thought of too. Way too often I click a link in app or via search without thinking and it puts me on the wrong website.

I’ve been using Firefox Nightly for Android and synched my Addons with my FF account. Works like a charm. I love using cookie message blocker, user agent faker etc.

I’ve been using desktop addons on Fennec for at least half a year now…

Same here, honestly it’s news to me that the main version has limited extensions
