Some of the extensions that are officially supported on Firefox on mobile include Ghostery, AdGuard, Web Archives, and Bitwarden. But with installation now more familiar and accessible, perhaps this is just the first step to improving the experience. While Mozilla is committing to improving the optimization of add-on performance on mobile, the company didn’t comment on supporting additional extensions. “These buttons will only work if you are using a pre-release version of Firefox for Android until version 85 is released on Thursday, January 25.”
“As a quick note, we plan to enable the installation buttons on AMO during our regularly schedule site update on Thursday, January 21,” Mozilla said in a blog post. “We hope this update provides a smoother installation experience for mobile users,” Mozilla said. Previously, Mozilla made it so extensions for mobile devices could only be installed from the Add-ons Manager, but the new update will feel more familiar to those who use Firefox on desktop.
This will give users the ability to install supported Recommended Extensions directly from (AMO). Now, Mozilla said it’s planning to release general extension support to the stable channel with Firefox 85 on Android.
Over time, the company rolled out improved add-on support, with a previous Nightly build of Firefox for Android adding general extension support. Unfortunately, the new browser build was incompatible with nearly all of the existing add-ons. In September of 2020, the company rolled out Firefox 79 which included a year’s worth of changes to the underlying codebase. Mozilla has made some notable changes to Firefox on Android over the past few months.
