Stupid iPhones… I want extensions!

replies:
Maybe also try making Firefox tablet compatible like almost every other browser.
Currently it's just a bloated phone UI on tablet, it's the one thing stopping me from using as my daily browser on mobile devices.

It's weird, this is presented as new, but I had adblock on Firefox on Android from the start.
That and flash support were two of the major reasons for using Firefox on Android in the first place. This was back around 2010, when most porn sites still used flash players for video. Then flash died, that was fine. Then at some point Mozilla reduced the available extensions a lot, but at least some adblocker was still available.

Awesome. As a recent convert after Google's acceleration of bullshit this year, I was surprised at the gap between mobile app and browser and frankly had difficulty understanding it. Glad to hear there will be an alignment coming.
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.

I'm confused. What the hell am I using on my ff if not extensions? (add ons)
I'm a little confused now.

Took long enough. What the hell was the holdup?
replies:
Sadly, some APIs are still not implemented, so extensions interacting with bookmarks for example still won't work...
Now if I could only reorder my Firefox bookmarks on my homepage.
At freaking last!
replies:
Just Mozilla being Mozilla... Taking forever to get impactful stuff like this released or to fix bugs that have been sitting around for years. Yet quick to add features to the browser most of us don't need.
I like what Mozilla is doing. But they seem to struggle with their priorities.
