That doesn't work too well with Firefox for Android, because Mozilla disabled most addons (there's like only 11 addons that are approved). I think it is possible to enable them in Firefox for Android Nightly[1] by creating an "add-on collection", which is kind of a pain and the first extension that I tried doesn't appear to work correctly (Redirector) and the browser just crashed after disabling the addon.
Another way would be to stick with Fennec v68 from fdroid, but that is not such a great idea, but at least the extensions do work.

- ce4 6y agoYou're right, thats why i switched to an older version of Firefox' Fennec fork on F-Droid. Mozilla should really fix this
- rapnie 6y agoOh nice, I might try that out. The new FF Android has been such a bad experience for me from the start, and has a long way to go to catch up with the old version, imho.
- vaccinator 6y agoI could not stick with the new Firefox for Android for more than 1 day... they didn't even implement something as simple as keyboard shortcuts (I understand that they have their priorities, but there are so many reasons why Fennix is worst then the previous engine Fennec, not sure why it was released in Alpha state as a finished product (did Google pay them to do this, IE: if you cripple your browser, I'll buy you a yacht)).
- kikokikokiko 6y agoKiwi Browser is the way to go since Mozilla decided that it knows better than it's users which addons should they be able to use or not. It's basically Chromium with all it's addons available.
- vaccinator 6y agoIt probably calls home to Google, also.
