How are developers going to update them for mobile when they arent even maintined for desktop?
- They don't need to be updated to make good test subjects. From the post:
  They were compiled because they possess a combination of Android API compatibility and relative popularity on Firefox desktop.

This seems awesome and all, but I can't install any of the add-on on my Firefox Beta. The add-on site says I need a newer version of Firefox.
- Same. Ive got ff 118 and tried to install 'i dont care about cookies' and get that message.
  
  You need 119 beta or 120 nightly

Should also add LocalCDN.

Thank for sharing OP, I just installed Firefox Nightly and it worked, although is not very intuitive.
(I installed Browsec)

IPvFoo (my extension) is still useless on Android.
The call to chrome.permissions.request({origins: [ALL_URLS]}); doesn't do anything.
I'll try asking on the new forum.

no jshelter yet 😔
- jShelter does work on Firefox Android, so hopefully they add it.
  I tried it with Smart Cookie Web Preview and it was fine
  
  Iinteresting. Does that browser satisfy your needs or did you just use it for testing? Itseems severely outdated.

- @Albin9326 I use the DDG browser on Android with app tracking protection enabled.
