You need to create a collection and then you can use almost any extension (it’s a pain in the ass to setup)

Mozilla is so stupid sometimes… It makes it feel like they are trying to discontinue all extensions.
I hope this doesn’t happen but it almost seems like the net is moving in this direction.
I recall reading a while back that they’re planning a massive overhaul with web manifest v3 and that would enable wider add-on support.
If you use Nightly or Beta you can use pretty much any addon with a few steps: https://www.ghacks.net/2022/10/20/firefox-beta-for-android-now-supports-custom-add-on-collections/
Yep. I switched to Firefox Beta many months ago and haven’t looked back. My needs are pretty minimal, but every extension that I’ve installed seems to work properly. It’s great.
Firefox for iOS is locked into iOS bullshit. It’s basically just a skin for safari.
It’s apple’s fault.
And users for accepting it. But Apple’s users compromise a lot of freedoms in exchange for the benefits they percieve they’re getting. My only concern is many Apple users don’t actually know the compromises they are making as they’re not technically minded.
It used to be worse, before Apple also nerfed the engine for browser apps like this so they would perform worse than Safari
I remember that. Everything but safari was beyond shitty.
I think quality assurance is harder, what with mobile operating systems arbitrarily terminating processes. But Manifest V3 should help here, I believe.
is it possible to get extensions on iOS Firefox?
They don’t even work properly… Can’t log into Bitwarden because the captcha doesn’t show up
Isn’t it easier to just use the Bitwarden app for mobile?
Interesting, I self-host a vaultwarden instance and the firefox add-on for bitwarden is able to talk to it just fine. I wonder if you did the captcha via the browser if the add-on would still attempt to prompt you for it
