Sorry Firefoxbros, I went back to Bromite on Android (unless Mozilla releases an update that adds unrestricted WebExtension support on mobile). Honestly, somehow Chromium-based browsers feel smoother on my phone than Firefox.
I’m still in love with Firefox desktop btw. Ain’t no other browsers on the market that has containers (and temporary containers!). Also the fact that Firefox desktop UI is just one giant HTML page that can be rethemed using custom CSS (userChrome.css) makes it awful for performance, but I adore that awfulness.
If you use Firefox nightly (and maybe some of the other beta branches too, I’m not sure), there’s a way to get any extension, they just might not work properly. I haven’t really had issues with nightly, despite it being such a bleeding-edge build - although I would recommend keeping a backup browser since sometimes it decides to just stop working
You can install any extension you want on the Dev version and some forks like mull by setting a custom extension collection. It’s a bit of a pain but it works.

Mozilla did say that they’re ready to bring extensions to the main branch and told devs to ready their extensions for mobile support.
Also Bromite has not been Updated for months, I uninstalled it for that reason.
I hate everything you said here.
Okay

I’ve been using Bromite too.
Can anyone suggest a site to sideload firefox? Very unsure about what’s trustworthy any more.
You have some options, I guess (and I’m assuming that you are sideloading to Android):
Thanks for the info.
Android, correct. And I avoid g! so I don’t have a g! play acct. I do have F-droid so I will check out those you suggest.
I really like Mull and it’s on FDroid I’m pretty sure. It’s a good Firefox fork.
I honestly did not know that. Thanks for the heads-up; I guess I’ll try Cromite some time later.
