USA: Mozilla is making a significant stride in improving the Firefox browsing experience on Android by reinstating extension support.

The upcoming extension system is built upon WebExtensions, a standardized framework facilitating the development of browser extensions across various platforms. Already adopted by Chrome and Edge, Mozilla asserts that WebExtensions offer enhanced security compared to the previous extension model.
Mozilla is currently in the process of testing this revamped extension system with a select group of users. If the testing phase yields positive results, the feature will be gradually introduced to all Android-based Firefox users over the upcoming months.
