You need to create a collection and then you can use almost any extension (it’s a pain in the ass to setup)

Mozilla is so stupid sometimes… It makes it feel like they are trying to discontinue all extensions.
Idk, but I’m still annoyed that pressing the search bar at the top hides the tabs button
I recall reading a while back that they’re planning a massive overhaul with web manifest v3 and that would enable wider add-on support.
If you use Nightly or Beta you can use pretty much any addon with a few steps: https://www.ghacks.net/2022/10/20/firefox-beta-for-android-now-supports-custom-add-on-collections/
I know that has been an option for some time, but it is not user friendly to make people jump through all these extra steps.
Firefox for iOS is locked into iOS bullshit. It’s basically just a skin for safari.
It’s apple’s fault.
And users for accepting it. But Apple’s users compromise a lot of freedoms in exchange for the benefits they percieve they’re getting. My only concern is many Apple users don’t actually know the compromises they are making as they’re not technically minded.
It used to be worse, before Apple also nerfed the engine for browser apps like this so they would perform worse than Safari
I’m not sure if Mozilla remembers they have a mobile browser most of the time. lol
I think quality assurance is harder, what with mobile operating systems arbitrarily terminating processes. But Manifest V3 should help here, I believe.
is it possible to get extensions on iOS Firefox?
I havent used iOS in a while so I’m not 100% sure. But as far as I know, Apple force developers to use their Safari tech, so I dont think Firefox addons would actually work from a technical pount of view. I could be wrong though.
