What do you expect? Firefox is open source. People in the open source community have long been supportive of seedy abusive software. The people developing Firefox today were probably teenagers using Lunix 20 years ago https://gwern.net/doc/cs/2001-12-02-treginaldgibbons-isyours...
it would be nice if it could support all extensions like kiwi browser does for chromium on android.
From what I've read Firefox for Android Nightly doesn't restrict which addons are allowed to be installed[1] but does require a really byzantine method to get them installed, by first creating a Mozilla account, creating a collection of addons, then using the collection URL to install them. It's unfortunate that both being able to install any addon and access about:config on mobile isn't just some checkbox away or at…
About:config is there, but the absurd whitelist on extensions is still there. I cannot confirm what the reddit thread says.
what makes chrome "better" on android beyond the reason it comes preinstalled?
If you want to use Firefox on android and don't want to deal with these artificial restrictions and excuses for bad behavior just get iceraven and call it a day.

Do you still want to use it was took over by Avast? https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/whats-new/acquisiti...
Iceraven has had this capability forever, no big announcement required. If you want to use Firefox on android and don't want to deal with these artificial restrictions and excuses for bad behavior just get iceraven and call it a day.
Greasemonkey was the good one and then something happened with it and it was no longer the best choice. I'm not sure what. The same repeated with Tampermonkey. It now has telemetry built into it, at one time w/ no privacy policy. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/6hs59w/tampermonke... The good one now is Violentmonkey. Has been for some time. Does Mozilla have an allowlist for these? If so I don't like it.
A big thing for me is that Tampermonkey is not open source. And yes, Firefox on Android has an allowlist of "known working good" extensions, the reason given being that Firefox for Android doesn't implement everything the Desktop version implements and IIUC, want to a avoid users blaming the browser when something breaks because of it.
And they wonder why their market share plummets the way it does, making such extremely user hostile decisions like that.
