By what mechanism is it possible for this to be true when Firefox doesn't even support Firefox extensions?

  Orion has a port of the web extensions API (used by Chrome and Firefox extensions) on top of WebKit.

    That's super interesting. I wonder why Mozilla didn't bother to do this for their own browser.

      Mozilla’s priorities are messed up instead of doubling down on browser they are getting into a lot of half assed side projects.

      It’s quite difficult to do and the solution is necessarily limited by the inability to modify WebKit.

  Is this a joke I'm not getting? Currently using FF on every device I use, with 3+ extensions.

    Parent is probably referring to the saga of extension support in FF for Android (it used to support all extensions until around 2019, then it didn't [0], then it did again but only a small number of extensions [1], they only recently got back to supporting a large number, but not all extensions [2]) [0] https://www.ghacks.net/2021/01/21/firefox-for-android-is-still-miles-away-from-full-extension-support/ https://www.ghacks.net/2021/01/21/firefox-for-android-is-sti...

      Ah I see, thanks. I only use Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin on my Android's Firefox, so I never noticed this problem.
