Firefox for Android has been updated, now you can install add-ons in the browser on your phone.
The new feature in Firefox is something Google Chrome users have been using for a long time, and now it has been integrated in a simple and convenient way.
Android phones have a large number of browsers to choose from, although the eternal competition has been focused on Google Chrome and Firefox. In recent years, we have seen how both browsers integrated a large number of features and functions to try to win the battle.
Although the general idea is that Google’s browser surpasses Firefox, the truth is that Chrome does not have certain features that are present in the Mozilla browser. Today, it is possible to verify this fact thanks to the latest feature added by Firefox to its Android mobile application.
This feature is dedicated to mobile phones running on Android, although it has been available for some time on any device running on Windows 10 or 11. We are talking about the recent availability of Firefox add-ons for Android mobile phones. This function is one of the most anticipated features by users with Google-powered phones.
Adding this feature means that this mobile browser is getting closer to having the same functions as the desktop version for computers running on Windows 10 or 11. Leaving this aside, let’s see how add-ons work in Firefox for Android phones.
As reported by Android Police, the new feature that allows you to add add-ons to the Android version of Firefox is only available in the beta version of the app. This makes it necessary to have version 107.0b3 to use the new feature.
By getting this version, you can freely add add-ons, although what you need to do to start using them is to create a group of add-ons first. This group will be the point of contact where all the added add-ons can be found. You will need to have a Firefox account in order to make the most out of it.
The fact that a Firefox account is almost mandatory may be frustrating, but it is logical because this will allow you to install or add the extensions saved in the profile of each user, and thus, it will be possible to access them all directly without the need to search for them individually.
