it would be nice if it could support all extensions like kiwi browser does for chromium on android.

  From what I've read Firefox for Android Nightly doesn't restrict which addons are allowed to be installed[1] but does require a really byzantine method to get them installed, by first creating a Mozilla account, creating a collection of addons, then using the collection URL to install them. It's unfortunate that both being able to install any addon and access about:config on mobile isn't just some checkbox away or at least more accessible without having to install Nightly. A few years ago both were available in the regular version. One alternative is the F-Droid Fennec fork, which is said to enable both out of the box[2].

    It's so byzantine that I was never able to make it work. I attempted twice, probably making the same mistake both times.

      I was unable to access my addon collection when using underscores in the collection name, hth.

    I am on Fennec f-droid. About:config is there, but the absurd whitelist on extensions is still there. I cannot confirm what the reddit thread says.
