> I want to run Firefox on my phone. The actual thing

Dream on. I use Firefox on my (android) phone and tablet, and it is seriously crippled. Also evolving in the wrong direction. (becoming more crippled)

Why do you say that. I use Firefox on my Android, specifically because I can install plugins, which I can't do in Chrome. What functionality do you think is "crippled"?

In what way is android Firefox crippled? I have adblocking and even use Tampermonkey on it.

And in fact you can use ANY extensions if you use Firefox Nightly with Collections https://www.androidpolice.com/install-add-on-extension-mozil...

Also, firefox on android will be supporting the install of any extension without using nightly and collections very soon.
