Reads like they are finally returning to full addon support. I've been using Firefox for Android long enough to remember that, before the grand redesign, they supported all addons and let you access about:config.

Back then, I was using uMatrix on FfA, now I am forced to use NoScript, which is more fickle to use and less stable.

Finally. You've been able to use desktop addons this whole time, but you have to do a whole runaround:

Create Firefox account
Sign in on desktop
Install the add-ons you want
Create an app collection and publish it
Sign in on mobile
Enable developer mode
Download your custom app collection
(Optional: sign out on both devices)

Yeah, and it only worked on some add-ons, for some reason.
