For the past several years the Firefox management has made many decisions that show disdain for their users. Disabling addons on the Android Firefox is based on a whimsical decision from the product management, not on the technical limits, as Firefox Nightly shows. Notably, those changes cannot be adjusted with the options. Even if they care about the simplicity of the settings panel more than the experience of the power users, adding a setting to about:config would be the right choice. I still use Firefox on the daily basis because I wouldn't want the pages I develop work only on Chromium. [putting on a conspiracy theorist hat] However, the biggest payer of Mozilla is not users, but Google. It is in their best interest to keep Firefox in a state that has a small share of the market, and yet does not let the regulators claim that Google holds a monopoly on browsing. The decline of FF usability is sad but not surprising.
