I remember wanting to try out Firefox on Android but not being able to use it with Tampermonkey which was a real bummer. Better late than never, I guess?

One question on my mind is why it took so long. Is Android a harder platform to make extensions available on or something?

It did support extensions until they basically redesigned the app from the ground up a few years back. They said they'd focus on stability first then move on from there.
