Mozilla is making it easier for Firefox s on Android to install ed extensions. Until now, mobile s could only install extensions from the Add-ons Manager, that Mozilla said tended to cause confusion for those accustomed to the desktop installation process. Starting with Firefox 85, set to will release on January 25, Firefox s on Android will be able to install ed recommended extensions directly from the addons.mozilla.org (AMO) page.

Announcing the feature for Mozilla said in a blog post that it hoped the update will provide a smoother installation experience for mobile s.

Mozilla said that it would enable installation buttons on addons.mozilla.org (AMO) during the regularly scheduled site update on January 21. However, until Firefox 85 is released on January 25, these buttons will only work for s who use a pre-release version of Firefox.

With Firefox 85, Android s can directly install ed recommendation extensions. One such extension is Web Archives, that lets s view archived and cached versions of Web pages on over 10 search engines.

Other recommendation extensions include Ghostery, a privacy extension that blocks ads and stop trackers; Dark Reader, that provides dark mode for every website; Search by Image, a reverse image search tool; uBlock Origin, a wide-spectrum content blocker; and Tomato Clock, a browser that helps s with online time management.

Firefox 85 will also include updates that will allow disabling of homepages and tab overrides. Browsing data API will also be available on Firefox for Android in the update. Certain errors that trigger when an extension changes a permission to optional during an update have also been fixed.
