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
