It was until FF68, when Mozilla decided that it would improve their market share if they rewrote the whole browser and kicked all their advantages down the drain.
Yes, if you run beta/nightly, create an account on their system, and add the extension to a collection there. That’s a lot of hoops to jump through, and it reduces the possible audience for an extension developer to a tiny fraction, so nobody has put any effort into building extensions for Firefox on Android.
They had issues with battery optimization and parity for a while now, but with both those issues being fixed (see: latest nightly) they can finally begin the preparations to rolling out support for ALL extensions :D
That took way too long, but better late than never.
It used to be a thing, didn’t it? I remember using any PC browser extension I wanted on my phone at some point and I think it was in Firefox.
Yeah it was removed when they rebuilt Firefox Android on a new engine and they deemed the extension system too unreliable at the time.

The last point is the biggest one. What’s the point in unlocking additional extensions if about all of them don’t work?
