Awesome, I won’t need to switch to the desktop version just because I’m missing a few extension.

As an iOS user and long time Firefox user (never switched to chrome in my life) I feel jealous. But one can only hope that we too in the APPLE walled garden won't be left behind. Though I understand that it would be a long shot. :(

If you absolutely want extensions, the Orion browser supports them.

Last time I used it, some bugs kept me away. That was at least a year ago though, it might have gotten better.

Firefox on iOS is just safari with a Firefox logo

The weird thing is Safari has extensions

[–] sir_reginald@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

you're buying the wrong phone. this is a limitation imposed only by apple, forcing every browser on iOS to be Safari re-skinned

Awesome!

I also hope that someday mobile firefox has tagging functionality like on desktop (and tags are synch-able, like bookmarks)

[–] MrFlamey@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I've been using Kiwi browser for ages and it's had extension support the entire time since I quit using Firefox on mobile. I would still be using Firefox if it hadn't just kept randomly not loading pages anymore and requiring a restart, because it did at least support the one extension I can't live without; ublock origin, but the bugs were just too much. I might give Firefox mobile another shot when this new version hits stable release.

Stop lying, Kiwi has been around for so long

[–] xantiv@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Any reason to switch from Fennec?

[–] thecam@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Wont Feddec support mobile extensions in the future?
