Nice
Niceee, Firefox Android needs more attention. It’s such an underrated browser. It’s non chromium, search bar on bottom by default, uBlock Origin, https-only mode, cookie banner reduction (soon), the best reader mode of all browsers, and addon support.
For me it’s the ability to install extensions. I can’t browser without the dark reader extension. If I look at bright screens for long time, I get a headache and won’t get sleep
Wish it were as easy to use as Samsung Internet browser dark mode. You can enable/disable with just 2 taps: settings > enable/disable.
Also Samsung Internet buttons & layout can be customised, you can have the search bar on top or bottom and most importantly? There is a “tap to go up” feature. It’s one feature I sorely miss switching from IPhone :(

I don’t even have to do that. Dark Reader on Firefox is synced to my system settings. So my dark mode is set to a timer, which automatically turns it on, including Dark Reader.
Can I log in to my Google account though, in the actual browser? Firefox is fantastic,l and those features are amazing, but I keep all my browsing, bookmarks, and so on in one place, my Google account.
I need to be able to look something up on my pc or tablet etc which all run chrome, and be able to find that quickly on my phone by typing into the address bar, etc.
I don’t usually care much about integrations but this one is too convenient to give up.
And I suppose, thinking about it, it would have to support multiple profiles too, because I have my personal Google account profile in Chrome, then my work Google profile, etc. Different sets of bookmarks and settings and so on for the different needs.
No, you won’t get Google profile sync built into Firefox. They have their own Firefox profile sync.
Firefox has its own syncing system via a Firefox account that’ll sync your bookmarks, open tabs, history, logins, etc…
Firefox on desktop does support multiple profiles, but they are nowhere near as convenient as Chrome’s which is just a few clicks.
I really did not like the search bar at the bottom. Thankfully, you can move it back up!
I found it unexpectedly appealing on the bottom, but good to know you can move it up! Extra point for Firefox.
Cookie banner reduction already exists usint uBlock. You just need to enable some additional lists
Oh yeah I went crazy and enabled all the annoyance filters, including every other filter lol. Browsers will never be able to keep up with the uBlock Origin extension. It’s probably the single most privacy preserving software out there.
I also used this list as a custom adlist to bypass seemingly all paywalls
Saving this one, thanks!
uBlock settings > filter list > annoyance > AdGuard/uBO - Cookie Notices
If this comes through, I might no longer need Iceraven (andoid firefox with full addon support, like before they tore it out; I use it for Singlefile)
You know, I always thought Android Firefox always had full addon support. I’ve got uBlock Origin now, and I remember having Stylus/TamperMonkey.
deleted by creator
I also use Iceraven but mobile Firefox has support for some popular extensions
It did, then came the big rewrite, and nearly all extensions went away. Some eventually came back, but Singlefile never did; there’s no longer any way to save the html of a site you visit. So I keep Iceraven, which still supports the addons that firefox used to.
So, after years of shitting on their users they decided to go back to before?
Not really since the blog post details that the infrastructure is much better and the way add-ons are handled is better too.
Woah that’s awesome. So ublock origin on android Firefox? Freaking nice!
uBlock on Firefox mobile has been out for a while now
From the beginning. Even when Firefox had to restrict the mobile add-ons a few years ago, uBlock was one of the few that remained.
uBlock, Dark Reader, Privacy Badger, ClearURLs, DecentralEyes. They have all been there the whole time
Even tapermonkey!
I can’t get any tamper monkey scripts to actually work except for YouTube scripts.
Or violentmonkey for a FOSS tampermonkey compatible alternative.
Huh, I thought it was FOSS… I’ll check that out.
Had to use the nightly build version, thoughI suck and I’ve been off platform too longIt’s the thing I miss most after intentionally going to ‘that other platform’ for dev reasons, though Brave Browser is a decent stand-in for FF+uBlock on this side of the walled garden.
I’m not on nightly and have been using ublock and a few other extensions. It’s nothing new afaik.
uBlock has been available on stable for a long time now.
Really!? Well, shit, I hate life more, then.

What is new, it seems, is the general availability of a lot more extensions. Right now it’s just a handful of curated ones. You can’t just go to addons and expect to install anything at the moment.
That said… RES on mobile? I’m intrigued to find out how well that works.
You can find out right now. I’ve been using it along with old.reddit redirect for years on mobile.
The truth is Firefox mobile has been able to run desktop add-ons this whole time. All that happened was they had to restrict availability of add-ons from the addon store to only the handful that they had verified work without issues. All the other add-ons could still work if they were maintained, but Mozilla couldn’t guarantee they’d work yet, so they wouldn’t let you install them directly like the other add-ons.
Yeah, that’s where nightly was when I still had it, with only a few, if important, extensions available.
But RES and old.reddit were no-go and made me sad. At least I had RIF (RIP IN PEACE).
Either way, glad to see it’s getting wider support for all. I wish it worked that way in fruitymobileland, but at least there is a browser (Orion) that actually supports both FF and Chrome extensions that tries to make up for things.

It’s really sad after all these years people still don’t know about the addon work around.
You could have been using desktop add-ons on mobile this whole time. It wasn’t a secret, either, Mozilla told you how.
It’s crazy that it’s been 3 years and this isn’t common knowledge among Firefox users.
you can use ublock origin on android firefox right now… been using it for years.
I use it since maybe a year now on Android and it’s amazing. The toggeling of the overlay and weird zap objects/overlays function takes some getting used too but otherwise its just like on the Desktop.
Yeah, the way Firefox manages addon interfaces on mobile makes it really unintuitive to use ublock’s tools, but you can absolutely use them with some practice and patience. Personal filters makes so many websites usable.
Hopefully whatever this update is will make using the element zapper/filter easier.
I’m already using extensions on Android with Firefox Nightly but yeah I guess that’s nice
Yeah it’s been nice but it has come with a bit of a learning curve. The process now is much more straightforward. Maybe devs will be more inclined to build since the userbase has future.
It was already possible to use all extensions on Firefox for Android Nightly
But it was not an activity that an ordinary person was willing to spend time on doing.
That’s also true
