> Not all Firefox add-ons available from addons.mozilla.org will work with the mobile browser. But any extension marked as Android compatible should work, and if you want to browse a subset of compatible extensions, there’s a new page for that.

If a developer marks their addon as compatible with the mobile version, you can install it. Mozilla isn't adding any of these addons themselves, it's all up to the devs now.

So if I take the source code and change the manifest to indicate that it is compatible, then it should work out of the box?

I still don't understand why they don't do what kiwi does. It supports all the chrome addons without modification.

I'm sticking with kiwi: Firefox is still missing the must needed "I don't mind about cookies" extension.

In Europe, by law, each time you open a page you get a weird and annoying popup saying something like: "the website uses cookies, are you ok with that?". The extension just nix the nonsense popup.
