  • It supported desktop extensions before, then they got rid of that and now they're going to do it again?

  • I would kill for this on iOS. Don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty happy with my Safari Extensions, but I’d rather have uBlock Origin, Stylish etc.

  • I think I read that it previously supported full blown extension and they removed it due to some under the hood changes.

    • It did, legacy versions of it had almost full extension support and also even allowed you to install them from storage as xpi files and poke around about:config, then they took away both of those things completely in fenix (only allowing about:config in debug versions and blocking XPI install altogether).

  • Kudos to them for rolling out support more widely, but it's a bit misleading as Firefox nightly/Fennec has supported extensions for years (albeit via a cumbersome process), and Kiwi Browser is also a thing.

    I can't understand how folks out there are just rawdogging the Internet out there without ublock or at least a DNS ad filter. Admittedly, Chrome runs a hair more smoothly, but the ability to use extensions like uBlock / DarkReader / Consent-O-Matic make the Firefox experience a tier above.

    I just hope this makes it possible to install the Bypass Paywalls extension again so I don't have to hop over to Kiwi for that.

  • What about Kiwi and Iceraven (Iceraven is a Firefox fork which has more extensions)

  • I wish they'd add a tablet UI. Doesn't seem to be prioritized whatsoever. Pre-Fenix they had it and have been patiently waiting for tabs to return on large screens ever since, but have lost hope.

  • I use Firefox and on my android tablet but I dont on my iphone since apple doesn't allow extensions on third party browsers. Its so annoying

  • Awesome, I won’t need to switch to the desktop version just because I’m missing a few extension.
