Mozilla will open Firefox for Android for more extensions

About damn time, they should never have disabled it in the first place.

Now, if only iOS would allow true Safari alternatives. 🥲

I use FF on android for a couple months now. Solid browser and sync to desktol and add blocker are nice.

BUT: their page reloading is far too aggressive. You can't buy anything online, since once 2FA is required and you need to open your bank app, confirm, and switch back, the page reloads and the 2FA didn't get through. Tickets and such are the only reason I have still chrome installed.

why it was restricted in the first place?

Can we have tabs when using a tablet please?

For those who don't know yet: Firefox Nightly for Android let you install any extension you desire.

You just need to create a custom collection on the web site and link your ID in nightly.

My goodness that's awesome. I never understood why they locked it down in the first place about a year ago. What changed?

Nice. What I need now is the ability to group tabs together

Permission to shout hurrah in an annoyingly loud voice sir!

great, now waiting for them to finally fix the supremely janky tab behavior.

Installed firefox yesterday. Nothing really changed or improved. Uninstalled firefox.

Yesssss

God I miss the old Firefox for Android :(

It's about damn time

This is great.

For every one who want to test it out you can use iceraven browser a Firefox fork that supports way more extensions than stock Firefox mobile https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser

no need for beta anymore or are there still some restrictions in place?

I haven't been using Firefox for Android because I heard they don't have a WebView Implementation so the firefox browser has to be used beside the Chromium WebView meaning there's an attack surface of two browser engines. I also heard that the Firefox sandboxing and site isolation isn't very good between websites.

I've been using Vanadium WebView and browser because of that.
