As far as I know, Orion is the only iOS compatible browser that lets you load extensions from the Chrome store and possibly Firefox as well although I'm not sure about that.

Seems like plugin support is not fully implemented, I added the 1Password extension, but can’t get the button to work in login forms.

Yes it also supports Firefox extensions. Bypass Paywall Clean is a great one.

By what mechanism is it possible for this to be true when Firefox doesn't even support Firefox extensions?

[freediver]

Orion has a port of the web extensions API (used by Chrome and Firefox extensions) on top of WebKit.

That's super interesting. I wonder why Mozilla didn't bother to do this for their own browser.

[getcrunk]

Mozilla’s priorities are messed up instead of doubling down on browser they are getting into a lot of half assed side projects.

It’s quite difficult to do and the solution is necessarily limited by the inability to modify WebKit.

Is this a joke I'm not getting? Currently using FF on every device I use, with 3+ extensions.

Parent is probably referring to the saga of extension support in FF for Android (it used to support all extensions until around 2019, then it didn't [0], then it did again but only a small number of extensions [1], they only recently got back to supporting a large number, but not all extensions [2])

Ah I see, thanks. I only use Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin on my Android's Firefox, so I never noticed this problem.

On IOS firefox doesn't support any extensions
