Well that's nice. But how many developers will care to make Android extensions at this point? Also will the current unsupported extensions in custom collections stop working?
This is seriously cool. I've been waiting for this for a while.
Does this mean that I'll be able to get temporary containers on Firefox Android?
That extension requires rather deep integration into the UI, which I don't think is possible for Android extensions. So, I doubt, it will become available...
It was already possible to use all extensions on Firefox for Android Nightly
Great i have been using all my fav extensions for a while in the beta version. Great news nonetheless!
Finally! Been using ancient version due to the addon crap they pulled in the past
Kiwi Browser has been able to use a good majority of the Chrome extension repertoire already though
Please please please don't' bring MV3 to Firefox for Android, Mozilla. 🤞

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