Firefox Nightly for Android to get full add-ons support
The Nightly version of the new Firefox web browser for Google's Android operating system will soon get full add-ons support according to a post by Mozilla's Add-ons Community Manager Caitlin Neiman on the official Mozilla Add-ons blog.
Mozilla launched a completely redesigned version of Firefox for Android in July 2020. The browser replaced the underlying engine with a Mozilla's new mobile browser engine GeckoView to improve web compatibility and performance of the browser.
Firefox users were migrated to the new version automatically, provided that the automatic update function was not disabled. One of the main issues that some users experienced after the upgrade was that add-ons support was limited.
The new Firefox supported nine extensions, and not the thousands of extensions that were supported by the previous versions. While these were the most popular based on user installs, it meant that Firefox users noticed that all other extensions were disabled and could not be used anymore.
Mozilla did promise to bring full add-ons support to Firefox, and it appears that a first step is being made soon in that regard.
