This is in my opinion the biggest issue holding Firefox back in the mobile market. I would be perfectly fine with no more feature updates whatsoever as long as all addons worked.
I’m guessing way less than 1% of people would use mobile extensions. I personally do but I don’t think most people use chrome on mobile because of the lack of full extension support on mobile Firefox (which btw is coming). I think people use chrome because “everyone else does”.
I think you’re underestimating how valuable tab groups are to people. I would make a full switch if Firefox could offer that feature on mobile in any reasonable way. Since it’s already a desktop extension, I’m just waiting for them to be made available on Android
Sure, but not even close to all. It’s been literal years since the change. I was understanding at first, but now it’s just becoming frustrating. Things that are very easy in desktop Firefox just isn’t possible on mobile Firefox. And yes, I am running Firefox nightly and custom collections for my extensions on mobile.
The only thing I want is proper support for desktop addons on mobile.

@TrickDacy @parpol I just wish that in 2023, Apple would relinquish their claw-like grip on mobile browsers on iOS. Give me ACTUAL Firefox, please.
Preaching to the choir
People use whatever ‘Internet icon’ came with their device and live their ignorant, but happy life :)
Yeah many do. Unless they find out they can hop on a bandwagon, such as with Chrome

I think you’re underestimating the diversity of browser users out there.
The majority simply doesn’t care about extensions. They just use whatever is already installed on their phones, as long as it’s useable enough.
You can use a couple already in the nightly builds of both firefox and the respective add-on

It has already been announced and is likely to come before year-end.
