I know you say a single supported extension does not count, but they did include the one extension that was an absolute deal breaker for me if it didn't exist.

They -don't- support extensions yet, but they did make it approachable for people like me who simply won't browse the web without an adblocker.
- endemic 7y agoAgreed, to be honest uBlock Origin is the only extension I'm currently running on mobile, and "deal-breaker" is exactly how I'd describe browsing without it. I'll probably give this new build a try.
- SECProto 7y agoYup. uBlock Origin on mobile is what made me switch back from chrome a couple years ago. Definite dealbreaker if it was unsupported
- lawl 7y ago> They -don't- support extensions yet, but they did make it approachable for people like me who simply won't browse the web without an adblocker. But from reading this they will ship the update to everyone before all extensions are ready? That really sucks for me, because I also use a password manager and a bunch of userscripts on my current mobile ff.
- unityByFreedom 7y agoI'm not happy with this update. They say it is "extension-ready", while they really mean it's "ready for extensions we approve". This isn't the first time they've been wishy washy about true extension support on mobile. The whole point of extensions is they allow anyone to add functionality, not just selected parties. It is not clear at this point whether or not Firefox will make true extension support a priority. This new Firefox for Android is shaking up to be far more limited than Chrome's Web Store which is almost as notorious for removing content as Apple's App Store.
