Extensions doesn't work. Initially they thought it was a great idea but after some backlash Mozilla decided to add some popular ones: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/5630

The ability to install extensions, especially uBlock Origin, is the only reason I switched to Firefox on mobile so it is good that they have changed their minds. But what do you mean by "add some popular ones"?

IIRC some known working extensions (uBO) will be installed if you log into Firefox Sync and it's installed on the desktop. The Addon interface is still a WIP afaik.

Extensions were always going to be added. You have to have a usable browser before you can even use extensions.

That is not true. In February, they were merely "look[ing] at it".
