    This sounds like great news!

    Firefox is already at the top of my list of preferred browsers on Android, but more extension support has always been on my feature wishlist.

          It also works on the Fennec branch for people who want a fully stable build that has full addon support, but yeah this is going to open it up to a lot more people, so hopefully more people will use Firefox

                  I so miss FF 68. It was so much better than the current version.

                  At least some of the missing features from 68 have been restored by now.

                  In 2023, everyone I know refers to the version I linked as the Fennec branch. I guess I assumed you were too.

                    I was a bit hung up on the term ‘branch’ because in my understanding Fennec F-Droid falls more under patch set. Mozilla used Fennec as code name for Firefox Mobile before the GeckoView migration and I had hoped the old Fennec branch would live on in some shape or form.

      Its current poor extension support is the reason I’ve been using Kiwi Browser, which is a basic Chromium build with full extension support, including loading from local storage.

        Same here. I use custom collections on Fennec F-Droid but the inability to properly sideload keeps me on the auto rebased builds of Kiwi Browser. That and support for the black OLED theme and night mode website retheming built in.

        Very glad to see this come to Firefox though! Hopefully they can also get those other bits added in.

          At least when using Kiwi in desktop mode (via Samsung DeX), Kiwi doesn’t fill out passwords for me. There also is no interest in supporting Firefox Sync.
