Nightly user here, does this mean I no longer need to do the song and dance of manually adding my addons list to the browser anymore? Guess I can finally switch to stable!
I am also using the same method and hoping the same thing. I doubt we will have to do the song and dance just because it is very much a developer feature test route and they have had extension functionality previously in the regular release.
Also looking forward to pulling back to stable build.
Now i just wish they fix the stupid bug where my tab becomes unuseable, it happens randomly and i cant reproduce, only thing that helps is to close it and undo the closing.
I have had this happened to me before, I think it has something to do with Android closing the app because of needing more RAM, hence you go back to FF and find out a blank page or sometimes it is not even the correct tab lol, refreshing it won’t fix it thus you’d need to manually close, or force close the app to get it in a working state.
Also, I haven’t checked on mobile, but the PS Store website just crashes Firefox entirely in macOS lol, those kind of annoyances weren’t present in Chromium based browsers, and I can see this being a huge downside for most people, for me it is worth it because FF is so damn cool.
Yeah that’s weird. I end up needing to open a new tab. Does it randomly.
I have it happen for webview most times I use it. I ended up using Kiwi Browser instead because of it.
this happened to me atleast twice a day. it’s annoying, and sometimes i ended up using chrome.
Firefox can come out huge if they keep it up! Fuck chrome and google.

Common Firefox W
It’s here on Nightly. :)
Say no more fam
It’s been here for months :)
All extensions totally opened without any user requirements? AKA not hacky thingys with collections and such?
I honestly can’t wait for this to happen so I can finally get Flagfox on my phone. I likenbeing able to see where a website might be hosted, where the server is.
Next, tab stacking.
And a tablet UI
Yup, my android tablet is the only device I own (unless you count my smart tv) where I don’t use Firefox. At least there’s kiwi so you can have a tablet interface and still be able to install addons
Is it a different UI than the one that has on the iPad?
There has been no tablet UI for Firefox on Android since the Fenix update 4 years ago. It’s just the phone UI stretched out. It’s a big bummer
Firefox is dead to me until they bring back a proper tablet UI. No tab bar is a deal breaker.
Yeah, I use Samsung Internet on my tablet. Firefox on everything else, so I obviously miss the syncing, tab push and access to extensions with my tablet. I even put it up as an Idea on Mozilla Connect, where a lot of people seem to agree, but I don’t foresee Firefox ever addressing this. I think they’re buried under a mountain of back-end issues.
This is very needed, I think you can get around on desktop with some neat extension, but we are fucked on mobile lol.
Wheres that guy who was getting mad about all the Firefox posts. Did he leave?

no i still think it’s boring
tbh I didn’t even know it was limited because all I use is uBlock origin lmao
Will be fun to see Wappalyzer on mobile
Stylus also super cool to get old non responsive websites to behave well enough on mobile.
What are some good extensions for Firefox? I got the standard ad-block but I don’t know what else is out there.
Ublock origin
Search by image
web archives (for when you hit a paywall)
old reddit redirect (so you don’t get stuck on the broken mobile site)
I straight up can’t see anything on new Reddit now. just “something went wrong”. they’re really screwing things up -_-
Dark Reader. Make sure to set the background color to pure black (#000000)
Also a password manager like Bitwarden
Why not just download the app for Bitwarden?

If you are an Android, why not just use LibreTube?
In my particular case: because I still need to sync my subscriptions and playlists, as well as the support for adding comments.
You can create an account on a Piped instance and use it to log in to LibreTube. That way, you can sync your subscriptions and playlists. The only thing you can’t do is comment.
Note to self, see if I can self-host Piped
You can. It’s pretty easy. That’s exactly what I do.
Privacy Redirect is no longer maintained. Use LibRedirect instead.
Thanks! That one has some great features too!
Do I need to install mobile-specific add-ons or will the ones I have on desktop sync across?
I don’t know if they’ll sync, but you’ll be able to install all add-ons available on desktop (possibly minus the Firefox themes)
That’s not what they announced. Extensions marked as compatible with Android will be available and technical changes to the design of some extensions are recommended to ensure good results.
I’m glad to hear it, this will make the mobile version much more usable.
And here’s me; bought a Google Pixel and the first thing I did was disable Chrome and install Firefox. Reading this makes it even more worthwhile.
Now install GrapheneOS and fully delete chrome.
From screenshots I learned some new extensions to use for desktop and mobile. Thanks u/throws_lemy@lemmy.nz
I know this is a big thing regarding extension on mobile, is Kiwi browser totally opened to extensions too, or does it only have a selected extensions list available?
Anyway, having this without any hacky thingys is a big win.
I only use kiwi for a browser extension that has 4000 installs. So I assume kiwi extensions aren’t limited to a selection.
