"This wraps up our initial plans to enable extension support for Firefox for Android," Mozilla said in a blog post (opens in new tab). We anticipate more plugins becoming available as they're optimized for the new browser, but no more big changes are in the pipeline. There wasn't time to get every plugin optimized in time for launch, so the new Firefox for Android launched with just a handful of curated add-ons (including AdGuard, Privacy Badget and Ghostery) that Mozilla said were particularly popular with its users. The aim was to give Mozilla's developers more control over the browser, but it also meant that the vast majority of plugins were no longer compatible, and had to be re-written. That changed with the release of the new Firefox for Android last year, which uses Mozilla's own GeckoView engine rather than Android WebView.
