more info here: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2023/11/01/is-your-extension-ready-for-firefox-for-android/

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.

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.

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

I've been using desktop addons on Fennec for at least half a year now...

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 can only think of one extension that I'd really like on mobile right now (nitter redirect), but this is great for the future of Firefox

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

I hope we'll get to use LibRedirect, it does exactly that, but for a dozen or so services

[–] tryagain@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

Hyped for this

All the ones I actually want on my phone worked already, but this is still good news.

Yeah, I used Firefox nightly until uBlock Origin became available on the regular release. Glad to see that most are going to be available. Been using Firefox since before they refactored the entire codebase (I think it was Mozilla Navigator back then). Went to Opera for awhile, Maxthon, and Chrome when it first game out but I always had Firefox installed.

Kiwi has extensions.
