    AFAIK they said within this year.

    But I expect that most addons won’t work out-of-the-box on release day. Many of them will be either conceptionally incompatible or too resource intensive for most Android phones, which makes Android kill the app. The Devs said they created a framework to fix this issue, which extension devs can use to adapt their extensions for mobile browsers.

    Don’t expect every single addon to work right away. It’ll take time - probably a year or so - until most relevant extensions support mobile Firefox.

      You can try https://github.com/CookieJarApps/SmartCookieWeb-Preview and see what works right now. The app lets you add any add on without a custom collection. uMatrix even works. I just tried it out a few days ago with jShelter, which works too.

      This should not be a daily driver though as it is out of date.

    They will apparently, since they mentioned giving all firefox extensions to the android firefox in a blog post.

    I don’t understand the question, what is the “web store”? A bit more context would be nice.

      No thanks. Kiwi browser is not secure. Please dont use it as it updates less frequently.
