Firefox nightly on android supported desktop extensions for quite some time. It wasn't that easy to install them, but once I did they worked fine. Maybe a bit more slugish than on pc, but that's expected given the resources limitations on mobile.

Not all extensions though. I want to be able to use the User Agent switcher that I use on desktop and when I add that to the extension collection it causes none of the extensions to appear in Firefox mobile.

I don't understand why we can't use about:config in the default version.

Because Firefox aren't for people who want to access about:config anymore. Have you heard about their new social network, focus on that and forget all the things you used to love about Firefox.

I think you can set a custom user agent in about:config, but obviously isn't as conveniant as a quick toggle from an extension.
