Support Firefox for Android

[blackwind]

Yep, it's that guy from Reddit again. 🤣 Still anxiously awaiting Android support and figured I'd file an issue here to track it. Using Firefox on my phone remains an absolute chore without my search keywords.

Any word yet on this one?

Any word yet on this one?

Apologies for taking forever, given how the current UI wasn't really compatible with mobile and the release of Manifest v3 I had planned for a complete rewrite for the next version which I have worked on for a couple months but due to exams and stuff I haven't gotten to work on it as much as I'd have liked. I'm getting back to working on it though, while it is in a private repo right now I'm hoping I'll be able to push it soon enough... in like another month at best I guess. In the meantime I myself have been using DDG from the search engine selection menu on Android when I need to use bangs, it's limited but there isn't much else for now.

Apologies again, while I have been delaying this project's progress an unreasonable amount of time, to me it's still an essential project so I will get things done in the long run at the very least.

Awesome to hear you're still committed! One unfortunate thing you'll need to reckon with that you may not be aware of currently: Firefox Sync isn't capable of syncing add-on data between desktop and mobile, so you'll need to roll your own sync implementation. Violentmonkey has a good setup for that and may be worth looking to for inspiration.

That's unfortunate, thanks for informing. I'll check out Violentmonkey's implementation then as well as look up alternatives, most interaction I've had with that project so far was making a few PRs to their amo-upload utility (violentmonkey/amo-upload#1).

Thanks for the encouragement!
