An about:config toggle to enable unoptimized extensions on your own risk, would still have been nice.
Even now, i see no chance for niche extensions who would work fine on mobile, to be enabled.

The option to install any extension has always been possible it's just a tad more work to get setup.
I did this ages ago, I just add the extensions I want to the list and then they appear to let me install them
about:config being available at all for regular Firefox for Android would be nice
Wait, it's not? Iceraven has it.
Unfortunately not. Firefox Beta/Nightly has it, just not the official android-build. They don't want to expose it to the user for some reason, but appearently it's still fine to do it on the official pc build.
Use Fennec F-droid, works fine there
