Reads like they are finally returning to full addon support. I've been using Firefox for Android long enough to remember that, before the grand redesign, they supported all addons and let you access about:config.

Back then, I was using uMatrix on FfA, now I am forced to use NoScript, which is more fickle to use and less stable.

Finally. You've been able to use desktop addons this whole time, but you have to do a whole runaround:

  • Create Firefox account
  • Sign in on desktop
  • Install the add-ons you want
  • Create an app collection and publish it
  • Sign in on mobile
  • Enable developer mode
  • Download your custom app collection
  • (Optional: sign out on both devices)

Yeah, and it only worked on some add-ons, for some reason.

Hopefully it won't break too many forks.
