If you have any questions about add-on support in the new Firefox for Android experience, please post them here!

[image] jorgev: this thread has veered into speculation, bad-faith assumptions, With all due respect, why is that so surprising? With this development decision, you basically pulled the rug from under the core of the Firefox mobile users. The point of an add-on system is that users can arbitr…

It is not surprising that the decision is being questioned, see also a side thread of this .

[image] davidpiano: And… There’s also a move to minimize the perception that the forced broken update continues to be a problem, by closing down discussions that mention it and redirecting them here. It’s probably a smart strategy, in terms of shutting people up. It’s definitely not a smart stra…

[image] anon18296772: Indeed I noted that volunteers’ replying at SUMO to users who have add-on problems already are “moderated” (kinda offputting, no?), while other areas of problems are not. If you think, there is a problem with moderation policy at SUMO, the discussion forum for that is he…

Well, it is a new year, and still the stable version of “Firefox for Android” does not support searching for and installing “add-ons” or “extensions”. It should have been a simple fix, just add the link to the search page at the bottom of the add-ons manager tab, as they had it working before. Somet…

Firefox (up to 68.11.0) add-ons were the reason I used Firefox for Android instead of Vivaldi, which does not support extensions on mobile .
