on android you can enable "share"/"open in external app" and send the link to piped or newpipe or whatever your preferred app is; that's how I do it
Yeah, that's what I currently do. I'm just constantly annoyed how restricted I seem to be in Firefox mobile in general with add-ons. No scripting add-on, no redirect add-on, no User Agent add-on. I still run Firefox as my main on all devices, but using it on mobile is definitely my least favorite.
I agree it it very annoying. I feel it goes against the whole libre and neutrality aspect of why firefox is important. I want the full linux-type experience on every device. :D
As the other comment says, it is possible to get addons in mobile FF . Tbh I have never done it. But I probably will someday.
You can and have been able to install pretty much any add-on you want in the nightly and I guess beta versions, for a long time.
It's not exactly convenient but it can be done.
