My goodness that's awesome. I never understood why they locked it down in the first place about a year ago. What changed?

They wanted to have compatibility with Chrome extensions. But that was all just a n EEE move by Google. More perfidious since they created the open standard in the first place

For those who don't know yet: Firefox Nightly for Android let you install any extension you desire.

You just need to create a custom collection on the web site and link your ID in nightly.

You can also just use the collections of other users

Maybe add PrivacyBadger, Consent-O-Matic, and DarkReader

For every one who want to test it out you can use iceraven browser a Firefox fork that supports way more extensions than stock Firefox mobile https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser

You can also use the Nightly app and load addon collections. It's an absolute pain in the arse, and a lot of extensions don't work, but it's one way to get them.

I didn't know that this feature is already dort of waring in the nightly build but it makes sence that they will test it out in nightly
