Please please please don't' bring MV3 to Firefox for Android, Mozilla. 🤞
Why not? Mozilla already fixed the biggest issue plaguing MV3 by continuing to allow MV2 ad blockers.
They are, since there are definitely benefits and makes migration easier, but they are also allowing the support needed for adblockers to be just as strong as they are now. So it keeps the benefits while also keeping adblockers strong like right now.

The issue is that Chrome is trying to replace
webRequest.BlockingResponsewhich is essential for content blockers, which Mozilla is pointing out and keeping supported.MV3 existing isn't a problem. MV2 deprecation is.
