At least 200+ desktop extensions to be available on Firefox Android in December (blog.mozilla.org)

Quotes from the blog post:

We’re taking a steady approach to opening up the mobile extension ecosystem to ensure Firefox for Android maintains strong performance standards while a vast new array of extensions are utilized for the first time in a mobile environment. If testing continues to progress well, we anticipate unveiling a fully open Firefox for Android extension ecosystem sometime in December.

We anticipate strong interest from users excited to explore all the new ways they can customize Firefox for Android. Current trends indicate we’ll have at least 200+ new Firefox for Android extensions on AMO when open availability debuts in December. And while a couple hundred extensions is more variety than you’ll find on any other mobile browser, it is significantly fewer than the nearly 40,000 desktop Firefox extensions on AMO. So the opportunity for heightened discoverability with new users may be intriguing to some developers.

Unless they drastically open up the browser, this is nothing new.

Its simply "not an antifeature" anymore. Currently Firefox on Android has a veeeery small extension set.

This is already possible, using a custom Addon Collection. Check out mine, it includes everything you should need.

Of course XD

Yo a few days ago I had the urge to look at every single damn addon from Iceravens messie collection... its a total mess full of addons that dont work for sure, and some weird ones you should just ignore like Honey.

Wrote a biiig issue report that day.

But I actually found some nice ones, they are at the top, like this autoscroll thing.

I actually went from "nothing changing my UA" to webGL randomization, canvas randomization and UA randomization. I am pretty sure most sites use that to track, so its best to randomize everything.
