AdBlock on mobile is a Firefox great advantage that everyone can appreciate. You can install it with AdBlock on mobiles your friends and family uses.

100% agree. This and the nifty little feature that lets you stop webpages from being notified that the window is no longer on top or the screen is no longer on.

You just pointed out why everyone don't appreciate it.

If "everyone can appreciate it", why isn't it a native/default part of the browser? This way, you wouldn't have to install and maintain it for your friends and family.

This is a great feature. However, the UX is super bad. I use Firefox for desktop for many years know and I'm happy with it. But for mobile, I keep it installed (and use it from time to time) just to support it.
