> This marks the last Android release with extensions/add-on support.
A lot people called it FUD, but we can see they took an extra 9 months or so, supported just a few extensions, then replaced what worked with a low feature version.
And users are angry. Yep.
Can't say I'm surprised.

- anonymousab 6y agoIt's not FUD at all if you use extensions outside of whatever Mozilla deigns to add to their whitelist.
- zamadatix 6y agoIf that's what the claim was I'd be inclined to agree but extension support was not deceptively and indefinitely dropped in Q3 2019 as the comment talked about. There was Fear extensions would be permanently removed imminently, Uncertainty with how the releases would be scheduled and feature roadmap, and Doubt they'd ever listen to feedback. In reality partial extension support was already there + expansion of support on stable on full support on nightly on the near term timeline at release https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/14034 https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/14034, the switch on stable FF happened in Q3 2020, and they changed stance after all of the feedback.
