Also from the official announcement (https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2023/11/28/open-extensions-on-firefox-for-android-debut-december-14-but-you-can-get-a-sneak-peek-today/ ):
Starting December 14, 2023, extensions marked as Android compatible on addons.mozilla.org (AMO) will be openly available to Firefox for Android users.
“We’ve been so impressed with developer enthusiasm and preparation,” said Giorgio Natili, Firefox Director of Engineering. “Just a few weeks ago it looked like we might have a couple hundred Android extensions for launch, but now we can safely say AMO will have 400+ new Firefox for Android extensions available on December 14. We couldn’t be more thankful to our developer community for embracing this exciting moment.”

I don’t get how the EU is not in arms about this. How is Apple able to get away with offering various browsers in the Store, when in the End they all are the Safari-Backend and therefore do not allow for competition in this ecosystem? How can a competitor stand out with a remarkable/better product, when he is not allowed to use his own engine? Or in this case: Prohibiting user from using Extensions like uBlock? Firefox is only a shell of their original performance when castrated by apples webview engine.
The EU is up in arms and the browser question is going to be handled through the DMA. The legal process has been going on since the summer and it’s hilarious.
Apple argues ‘Look, those Safaris on iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, TvOS, WatchOS are TOTALLY DIFFERENT PRODUCTS and none of them have enough users in the EU for you to even think about regulating us, alright? We’re a tiny startup! Will nobody think of the children?!?’ (I paraphrase somewhat)."
lol
And their ads literally say “Same Safari Different Device”.
It helps that Apple doesn’t have such a huge marketshare here.
Are multiaccount containers coming?
THIS PERSON ASKS THE REAL QUESTIONS
Honestly, that was my first hope.
uBlock is already available on Firefox mobile as well as Tampermonkey, I’m not hating but what other extensions should I be excited to try? At the moment that’s all I need to use.
What are you going to install?
Consentomatic is the only other one I can think of, cookie popups are so much worse on mobile
I think there’s a filter for cookie popups in uBlock. I’m still using the I still don’t care about cookies extension tho.
The “annoyances” filters in ublock stop the cookie popups
I don’t want to just block them though, I want to deny cookie use automatically and hide the popup
You haven’t consented to cookies until you click agree, so there shouldn’t be any difference if the website is GDPR compliant.
That’s a pretty big if. I’ve seen sites with banners at the top that say something along the lines of, “by dismissing this banner or continuing to use the site you’re consenting to cookies”
That’s a good point, but in that case I wouldn’t think Consent-O-Matic would be able to do much about it.
Midnight Lizard, it’s better than Dark Reader. Skip Redirect is also pretty handy to fast-forward those pesky url shorter page redirections.
What about it is better?
It’s available on Nightly.
Is there a more updated fork that you use? The last update for Midnight Lizard was ~3 years ago.
I would like to install the bring back youtube dislike extension. Otherwise I’m happy with what I have already
Privacy badger/possum were welcome sights for me personally.
Been using Firefox Android for quite some time already. It’s been my perfect browser pretty much. I’m glad more extensions are coming, so others can enjoy it as well, but I’m happy with just Dark Reader + uBlock Origin lol.
I’ve been using extensions on the Nightly build and love it.
Good step forward, but this will again flood people with duplicate extensions, useless adblockers, or even harmful ones. And there are quite a lot, even on AMO
I mean… it’s not like the app stores are any better.
Still no site isolation right?
This on desktop, Firefox still doesn’t support it on Android.
Are you sure? I can enable it on android just fine, I can’t say if it works though
It seems there is some limited form of isolation, but not as strong as on Chromium-based browsers:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1565196
GrapheneOS claims that Firefox bypasses some work done by them and upstream Android but they don’t specify how exactly…
iceraven becoming more pointless
IceIndri, IceIbex, or Rustyraven would have been better name imho

That t-shirt would be cool, but don’t have time to properly test our extension before then
I’m looking forward to December when I’ll have time to work on it. I’ll try to attend some office hours, I didn’t know that was an option
Hope there’s one that can let me control the browser media player by double tap, it’s quite annoying feature that’s lacking
Might help me move to Firefox eventually now that there’s more than just the few from before. Not many things keeping me back compared to before.
That’s more extensions than I need, but thanks.
I’d like to see LibRedirect ported!
Weeelll if they load the same as currently I wonder if that doesnt crash the browser
Did they ever fix the connection through proxy servers issue. Ff was literally unusable at my work, and such. I had to uninstall it
