Firefox for Android has had extensions for years. Get with the program.
technically they had them then they went away then they kinda came back and now they're fully supported again (and i say this as someone who loves firefox/fennec on android :))
And yet they introduced nonsense restrictions on them after overhauling the interface few years ago.
You can install any extension if you take 5 seconds to google it.
But let's be real here - there is significant overlap on the venn diagram of people installing Firefox on their phone and people looking to install extensions on Firefox on their phone. Most people don't even bother with the first part, they just use whatever comes on the device (Samsung Internet, Chrome, etc)
Actually, that workaround is no longer required. Which doesn't invalidate my point though.
Yay! But still, I also remember when Firefox limited the extensions. I searched and found a workaround.
I always thought that was about compatibility. Was there another actual reason?
Well, it was about compatibility years ago, too. But when they did the Fenix project, I remember initially only about 5 extensions were available to install, even if they could've allowed more with the APIs available back then. Then it took years again to get access to the full store of extensions.
Edit: also, where did themes go? It isn't that hard to overlay a horizontal image on the toolbar like before.
You seem to know a lot, have you sent them a pull request yet?
