I remember the days when this was already possible. I installed flash in firefox on my dollar general android to read Homestuck

It only reverted because of the firefox quantum push in order to make the browser itself faster. Speed was the #1 reason why people jumped from firefox to chrome way back when. While you can still install addons in a roundabout way(through addon collections), none of it was outright verified it was going to work.

Indeed. The old firefox mobile ran very poorly.
