Oh man. Once Firefox on Android got extension support, I hopped on that train so hard. No ads on mobile browser? Heck yeah.

It has extensions support for like 6 years at this point. Unless you got some extreme obscure extensions

Huh. I was under the impression that proper extension support (eg ublock origin) only came about recently?

You are correct in the proper extension support part. Until recently FF Android only supported a handful of selected addons made specifically for it.
uBlock Origin however has been one of those for almost a decade now.
I'm sorry you have been suffering ads all this time.

There were a few years when only a handful were supported. Before that it was as open as now, leaving compatibility responsibility to the extension developers.
