Not saying it’s a better implementation, but Safari already does this.

The more extensions you install in your browser, the more easier is to track your behavior on internet.
I'll be impressed when they actually allow for the installation of extensions from places other than their addon store like I can on the desktop version. Maybe in another 5 years, if Mozilla lasts that long.
I mean.. it already does support desktop addons so I'm not exactly sure what's new here. It looks like this just fixes android killing background processes due to battery saving, but you can always just disable battery optimisation for firefox, or put it in "never sleeping apps", though granted even without doing this i've never experienced problems.

That's nice,but it would have been great to get certificates into Firefox mobile. Those are exclusive to Chrome browsers and that sucks.
