There&#x27;s a lot of hate any Firefox and the &quot;blessed apps.&quot; But come on, chrome and Safari don&#x27;t sorry add-ons at all!<p>I know there are other apps that support add-ons but the fact is that Firefox is __the only__ &quot;mainstream&quot; browser that does this (quotes because it&#x27;s 0.25% in the US, as the 4th most popular, behind Samsung fucking Internet).<p>It&#x27;s popular to hate on Firefox, but this is the nerdiest of nerd issues and if we&#x27;re being honest, all this has accomplished in the last decade is a decrease in market share and keeping Safari and (more so) Chrome dictate the Internet and user experience. Firefox being so low puts no pressure on Chrome to add add-ons. Firefox being so low just means Chrome can continue pushing the ad first Internet.<p>Yeah, it&#x27;s fun to complain, but which do you hate more? That Firefox only provides 80-90% of what you want (when major competitors provide __0%__), or Google dictating the Internet (like AMP)? Complain, but maybe tone it down a bit. This is not the holy war you want.

Out of curiosity I recently did an experiment to investigate Add-Ons in Firefox for Android.<p>Some facts:<p>One does not need Firefox Nightly to run more extensions than the &quot;supported&quot; ones.<p>Creating a &quot;custom&quot; collection of Add-Ons on addons.mozilla.org can be done using a disposable email address.<p>There is no visible Settings option to add a custom collection in Fennec from F-Droid. To make it visible, one has to go the About page under Settings and tap the Firefox logo three or more times.<p>One needs to enter an &quot;ID&quot; in Fennec to add a &quot;custom&quot; collection. The addons.mozilla.org site does not tell the user her ID, it&#x27;s in the URL that points to her collection.<p>After a custom collection is added, one loses the default collection of Add-Ons &quot;supported&quot; by Mozilla. No way to easily switch between collections. Need to remove the current collection.<p>After installing a custom collection, whenever the user access the Add-Ons menu in Fennec, Firefox tries to connect to addons.mozilla.org. Mozilla&#x27;s definition of user privacy excludes telemetry and data collection by Mozilla.<p>As another commenter mentioned, many of the Add-Ons that are not &quot;supported&quot; by Mozilla work just fine. They work just as well as uBblock origin, NoScript and the other &quot;supporteed&quot; ones.

This is a big surprise and a welcome one. I honestly had given up hope of this happening. It&#x27;s disappointing that it took this long, but it is a big deal to have full extension support on Android again. I&#x27;m very happy to see this news.

We need to be able to directly fund Firefox instead of all the other mozilla stuff. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;connect.mozilla.org&#x2F;t5&#x2F;ideas&#x2F;ability-to-donate-money-to-the-firefox-development-team-directly&#x2F;idi-p&#x2F;198" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;connect.mozilla.org&#x2F;t5&#x2F;ideas&#x2F;ability-to-donate-money...</a>

I want to load my own XPI files.<p>Because apparently, I&#x27;m not allowed to embrace the full potential of my browser by installing any extensions that haven&#x27;t been hand-delivered and serenaded by the majestic Firefox Marketplace.<p>Please share if you&#x27;re familiar with a method. I&#x27;m contemplating the creation of my own customized version of Android Firefox, incorporating code to enable installation from XPI files.

<p><pre><code> coming </code></pre> *coming back<p>They removed it. It was one good thing about Firefox mobile and they removed it.<p>Now please bring back the old UI and fix other issues you broke with that update (so the window that shows tabs so it doesn&#x27;t forget where its position was, or make external video player work again) and I might switch back.

Great! Firefox on Android was perfect until it was redesigned, and only a few extensions were allowed. I switched to the Kiwi Browser just because of that. I hope that it will work as well as it did before the extensions were removed, so I can go back.

even though i am an exclusively firefox user both on desktop and mobile, i don&#x27;t even know what kind of desktop version&#x27;s extension that i would use on mobile. currently, i only use adblock and so far my experience is quite stellar.<p>though it should be noted that i use browser on phone just to consume text. no video, no audio, and even picture is rarely the focus.<p>so, what do i miss?

That&#x27;s awesome. I really want the Copy All Tab URLs extension. I will probably switch from Brave (which doesn&#x27;t have it either, so I already have hundreds of tabs opened in it, waiting for a solution) to Firefox just for this. I don&#x27;t want to sign up for any acount and use any cloud for my browsing history, just copy everything and dump it to another app I use to move data between devices.<p>That&#x27;s very sad and weird mobile browsers usually don&#x27;t have extensions. Firefox can probably repeat the history here - as I remember it was the first to introduce extensions (on desktop) and they are a cornerstone part of what have made it great in the first place.

&gt; Once you’re ready to test the mobile version of your extension, create a collection on AMO and test it on Firefox for Android Nightly<p>Just in case anyone missed this, it seems that Android Firefox STILL will not allow anonymous installation of extensions. Even if you wrote the extension yourself, and want to install on your own device.<p>Only workaround is to only install approved extensions, or be forced into registering on AMO. if I am wrong I will be happy to hear it, but this upcoming release doesn&#x27;t seem to offer any meaningful change in regards to user privacy and control.

I am facing this issue in the recent versions of Android Firefox where if I switch apps and come back, or lock and unlock the phone instantly leads to the page refreshing and scrolling back to the point where I was reading. This is quite frustrating as I have to keep the Firefox app always open or wait a frustrating amount of time for the page to completely load and scroll down. Some pages with progressive loading will take a huge amount of time for the page to completely re-download and if you scroll even slightly, the auto-scroll to where you last left is lost.<p>I can replicate it with just a single tab and I have excluded Firefox from all my battery saving and memory saving features.

Maybe they can fix some of the many outstanding bugs in Firefox Android while they&#x27;re at it... Like not suggesting logins if autofill is disabled, or at least allowing mass delete for logins so it doesn&#x27;t suggest them.<p>It&#x27;s impossible that this hasn&#x27;t already been seen so it&#x27;s absurd it&#x27;s still an issue.

This is most definitely a step I the right direction but as I&#x27;ll always say, the one and only killer feature on mobile is Text Reflow. Being able to zoom into a long text and knowing you&#x27;ll be able to read it without scrolling sideways is a must have feature for mobile browsers, yet nearly none of them have it on Android save Opera and at least at one point Samsung Browser.

This sounds cool.<p>I have a wildly paranoid Firefox setup (hardened config, NoScript, Cookie AutoDelete, ClearURLs, uBlock). It basically runs everything off (js, custom fonts, cookies, etc) unless I whitelist it explicitly.<p>I was never quite able to replicate it on Android because some extensions didn&#x27;t worked as expected or were clumsy on mobile.<p>Will give another try.

Mmm, too bad FF is so slow compared to Chrome&#x2F;Chromite, at least on my older phone.<p>I suppose newer phones can handle it, but at the same time, I don&#x27;t think many users realize the additional performance impact extensions can have on the browser.

Would it be possible to inject chrome extensions somehow into firefox that is the final piece where some websites force to just use chrome and it&#x27;s really annoying and the singular time you have to switch for their chrome based widget&#x2F;extension to do that websites functionality?

There used to be a way to sideload extensions onto Android FF but I found it too cumbersome so I switched to Kiwi, a build of Chromium with extension support. Will definitely give this a go when it&#x27;s ready, and I hope Temporary Containers works as I miss having that on mobile

Firefox for Android is lacking on so many basic features, it&#x27;s amazing that they prioritize anything else before fixing those.<p>E.g deep links. Which is very, very basic feature for mobile. Firefox on Android is unusable without it - and it seems like no one prioritize this, so excuse me for not being excited by any other feature.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackoverflow.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;54653641&#x2F;app-links-not-working-on-firefox-but-chrome-works" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackoverflow.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;54653641&#x2F;app-links-not-w...</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mozilla-mobile&#x2F;fenix&#x2F;issues&#x2F;15202">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mozilla-mobile&#x2F;fenix&#x2F;issues&#x2F;15202</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugzilla.mozilla.org&#x2F;show_bug.cgi?id=1809264" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugzilla.mozilla.org&#x2F;show_bug.cgi?id=1809264</a>

Great to hear. I have been using Kiwi Browser (Chromium clone) on mobile for several years precisely because of full extension support and _full Developer tools_! I will reconsider going back to Firefox after this, though...

There&#x27;s a lot of talk about Chrome and Firefox. It seems simple to me -- Brave literally pays me in crypto to use it on desktop, and Firefox Nightly has by far the best extension support on mobile (I&#x27;ve had bypass-paywalls on there for years, which you just can&#x27;t do on anything else). And then on desktop, Opera has GPT support built in, comes in handy when working on old machines for general system resource use being moderate.<p>Chrome never even enters the equation. Even at work, when I&#x27;ve got a choice between Chrome and Edge, Edge has taken over for me because of the ability to &quot;turn a site into an app&quot; which lets me have work resources on the taskbar as unique icons I can easily access to switch between.<p>I think the one thing I keep Chrome installed on my desktop for (because I have all of them) is the superior Chromecast support if I feel like casting some streaming media to the TV in the other room from a site that isn&#x27;t supported by the Roku TV.<p>I get the social and business issues with Mozilla, but I don&#x27;t see it going anywhere for me on mobile. Probably not coming back on the desktop until they literally pay me to use it though.
