In August we encouraged developers to start preparing their desktop extensions for Firefox Android open availability on addons.mozilla.org (AMO). The project is progressing well and ...
It is irregularly maintained, so I only use it for testing, except for the occasions when it is current.
I really like that you can add any extension, it may not work, but you can try. The bottom nav and toolbar (optional) are great. Pull out tabs, etc. I love the features it has.
In my perfect world, Mull my usual browser, and SCWP would be integrated.
It seems to be a side project for the developer, they also do a webview (smart cookie web) with a lot of nice features and customization.
And they were running their own Searx instance.
They seem to like trying out new features, for instance, they were the first browser I saw that had an ‘Amp to HTML’ to de-amp links.
On top of the extensions in this list, you can create a collection of extensions on the addons website and then add that entire collection to mobile Firefox. Doing this, you can (at least attempt to) use literally any extension on addons.mozilla.org.
I’m not sure it would really help them with testing in the same way, but at least you can use the extensions.
The list contains addons that were last updated 3-4 years ago.

How are developers going to update them for mobile when they arent even maintined for desktop?
They don’t need to be updated to make good test subjects. From the post:
The list:
This seems awesome and all, but I can’t install any of the add-on on my Firefox Beta. The add-on site says I need a newer version of Firefox.
Same. Ive got ff 118 and tried to install ‘i dont care about cookies’ and get that message.
You need 119 beta or 120 nightly
Should also add LocalCDN.
Thank for sharing OP, I just installed Firefox Nightly and it worked, although is not very intuitive.
(I installed Browsec)
IPvFoo (my extension) is still useless on Android.
The call to
chrome.permissions.request({origins: [ALL_URLS]});doesn’t do anything.I’ll try asking on the new forum.
no jshelter yet 😔
jShelter does work on Firefox Android, so hopefully they add it.
I tried it with Smart Cookie Web Preview and it was fine
Iinteresting. Does that browser satisfy your needs or did you just use it for testing? Itseems severely outdated.

So not my daily driver, but nice to play with.
