A little while back Mozilla put out a post ushering addon developers to prep their addons but I haven’t heard anything else since, I don’t wanna update to early and loose everything I already got

    No, they only announced plans to work together with devs to make the transition to mobile easier. It wasn’t a “all addons will work on Firefox android” announcement. Hopefully most popular addons transition

      Everything I personally use works on the beta version through the collection method.

      on mobile i use brave because its the only app on ios that will background play youtube com videos without a fuss while also removing video player ads (among the rest).

      if firefox allowed a plugin, or just supported this feature outright, i would have 0 reason not to use firefox on all of my devices.

      i wish theyd stop sleeping on users like me.

      e: hate me all you want for it, im still right.

        On mobile I use Firefox to accomplish the same thing you just mentioned

        Edit: Video Background Play Fix + ublock

          As much as I hate Brave, on iOS as of right now all browsers are webkit and you can not install extensions, besides on Safari after downloading a third party app ofc cause Apple is the master of locking you into their ecosystem so Brave is the only option with an ad blocker on iOS

            Oh, I can’t read. I didn’t see the iOS mention, and also didn’t realize it was locked down like that. That’s unfortunate, I hope Firefox manages to allow them somehow.

          to my knowledge plugins only exist for android, as i said im on ios so brave is the only option without sideloading or running old firmware for jailbreak.

          ive never heard of it, i looked at it a little and it seems to be more of a self host thing, which is a potential nightmare for a casual users sanity and security. feel free to clarify if im mistaken.

          brave blocks ads IN and out of the (mobile web) yt video player, and plays video in the background(lockscreen) with no setup at all out of the box.

          to my knowledge there is not a single other first party app on the ios app store that does this.

    If you create an addon collection, you can install any addon already… Its fucking ridiculous that Mozilla did this though and its a pain in the ass to setup

    I’ve had add-ons on my mobile Firefox for a while now. I dunno what everyone is talking about.

    Is ublock a weird addon or something?

    Just use Iceraven. Addons work great on it. Except for themes for some reason.
