Mobile support

[SunCatMC]

It is possible to have an extention work on mobile app (at least with Waterfox/Firefox, see uBlock Origin). It would be great to add this support for our extension too, less dependency on having a pc

It seems like Mozilla recently deprecated proper extension support for Firefox for Android with their recent large rewrite of the app (Firefox 79). Extensions still are available, however you can only install the "recommended extensions". From what I know they're planning to add support for more extensions later on, but currently you cannot just install some custom extension.

While it would be possible to also adapt the extension to work for earlier versions of the app, that would require fixing a few incompatibilities that I don't know how to fix without forking the app (specifically, the Android app doesn't support the badge API). Additionally I would need to test the app on an old version of the app which means extra effort is needed. In my opinion that isn't worth it.

Therefore I'd probably postpone this until proper extension support for Firefox for Android is available.

Update: It appears like it's now possible to properly write extensions for Android, however there is currently no way to publish these extensions. It appears like addons still need to blessed by Mozilla to be able to be used out of the box, and that only happened to a very few popular extensions so far.
