Is your extension ready for Firefox for Android? Be part of the launch of a new open mobile ecosystem

During the release cycle of Firefox 120, we’ll begin to see the emergence of dozens of new, openly available extensions on Firefox for Android on ...

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.

    I’ve really enjoyed having Firefox and Ublock on my phone. It’s so nice :) I’m hoping for augmented Steam and Unpinterested extensions to get added too.

    About fucking time. It would be nice to have Old Reddit Redirect, so I don’t have to put up with that crappy redesign whenever I need to Google something.

    This is great, though I really wish they would finally prioritize supporting site isolation and enabling isolated process on Android.

    A big part of why a lot of us use add-ons is for privacy and security, but even with more robust extension support, it still won’t be as secure as Chromium-based alternatives on mobile until they address that.

        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.
