Huh? Firefox on Android does support addons. There's only a small subset of them available by default but you can enable support for all addons as well although you'll have to use Fennec or Mull from FDroid for that.

Go to the "About Fennec" menu and tap the logo several times to enable the hidden "Custom Add-on collection" menu. Create an account on Mozilla Add-ons website and add all the addons you like. Use the profile ID to add the collection in the hidden menu you unlocked.

Yeah, I know, using addons shouldn't be so convoluted.

I wouldn't hold my breath, mainly because Google has already stiffled Mozilla from publishing in the Play Store due to, apparently, downloading addons constitute "malicious behaviour" back in Firefox 68.

So the restricted addons is specifically because they reviewed that subset personally and thus is, at least for Goog's policies, okay.

(Yes, I'm aware of Kiwi browser. Says a lot about app store moderation.)
