Firefox will become the only major Android browser to support an open extension ecosystem
Shots fired! Mozilla is serious about taking Chrome’s crown, especially after Google’s shameful WEI.
But Chrome on Android has never supported extension, if I remembered correctly.
Yup, the idea here is that Firefox will also support many desktop extensions in addition to the small subset it supports right now (which is already cool since it includes uBlock Origin) and Mozilla is making that a big selling point (that and being a refuge from Google’s WEI).
This is great news. I switched completely to Firefox earlier this year. The straw that broke the camel’s back for me was Chrome killing Manifest V2, which would break a lot of adblockers. Now that Mozilla is adding full extension support for mobile? I’m glad I switched.

I use the desktop version and it works really good but the phone version is soo slow. You have to wait for the UI elements to load each time an UI element appears so something that would take 200ms takes 2 seconds because it takes so long
Was that recent? I use Firefox exclusively and haven’t had those issues.
Yes, it used to work fine but since pages sometimes bugged I updated and it fixed some bugs but added others and slow UI is one of them, can you share a video of you moving between pages UI? I dont know if it is just me but it is anoyingly slow. I love the desktop version and it works perfectly but the phone one have to work with that
awesome! I hope they’ll add a search bar to the addons list when this is fully released

I already have a few that I developed and use all the time. It’s just difficult to get them set up currently.
For example I’ve developed a small Add-on which makes Android Firefox open PDF directly, just like the desktop browser does.
