A little while back Mozilla put out a post ushering addon developers to prep their addons but I haven’t heard anything else since, I don’t wanna update to early and loose everything I already got

Just use Iceraven. Addons work great on it. Except for themes for some reason.

I’ve had add-ons on my mobile Firefox for a while now. I dunno what everyone is talking about.

Is ublock a weird addon or something?

Yep. So far only a few officially blessed addons have been supported: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/4757633/7dfae8669acc4312a65e8ba5553036/

I think Mozilla was even going through and filling out the extension APIs on mobile based on what the extensions they wanted to support the most actually needed.

AFAIU, they’re now getting ready to open it up more broadly.

You should have limited access to addons on stable Firefox.

On Firefox Beta/Nightly/Mull/Fennec, you can enable ‘Custom Add-on Collection’.

On Iceraven the developer already set it up for you.

To enable it, go to settings, about <browser-name>, tap the logo 3(?) times, and add your own collection.

Or add Iceraven collection, with 16201230 on the ‘Collection owner (User ID)’ field, and What-I-want-on-Fenix on the ‘Collection name’.

All is a very large expectation. Best you get is all that Dev.s continue to support.

If you create an addon collection, you can install any addon already… Its fucking ridiculous that Mozilla did this though and its a pain in the ass to setup

We’ll announce a definite launch date in early September, but it’s safe to expect a roll-out before the year’s end.

AFAIK, no date has yet been announced
