The point is they already do unlike what the article claims

It's desktop extensions. Most mobile browsers only support a subset of all available extensions (including Firefox!). Now, Firefox will support its whole library of extensions.

They only mention "open extension ecosystem" idk if that means everything and also I haven't found an extension not working on mine yet I have even installed a flash player extension for flash games on my browser so no opinion on those statements

They only mention "open extension ecosystem"

  • The title: "Prepare your Firefox desktop extension for the upcoming Android release"
  • End of the first paragraph: "Here’s everything developers need to know to get their Firefox desktop extensions ready for Android usage and discoverability on AMO…"
  • End of the second paragraph: "so why not start optimizing your desktop extension for mobile-use right away?"

also I haven’t found an extension not working on mine yet I have even installed a flash player extension for flash games on my browser so no opinion on those statements

And those were installed from the mozilla addon library? With full support for a mobile interface? And you tried every extension available?

I have even installed a flash player extension for flash games

Flash used to be a mobile extension...

What u highlight desktop for, the article is about android and the 10 extensions it has so far, your own highlight says "about upcoming android release" desktop is only mentioned for devs to optimize their shit for mobile use.

And no my extensions were not from mozilla thats my whole point I can get extensions elsewhere this whole time, which is why I mock mobile mozilla users in the comments thinking mozilla did something revolutionary.

The article is about how i currently Firefox only supports 10 extensions, specifically developed for mobile, but in the future it will allow all the extensions that are available for desktop. And how no other mobile browser so far accepts all desktop extensions, making Firefox the first.

It's really not that hard to understand

I think you're a little confused about what's being said here.

I think youre the one confused other mobile browsers already support extensions, too bad 100 people downvoting lack the skill to google
