Beta version of Firefox for Android now has the ability to freely introduce add-ons
Firefox for Android supports add-ons like Firefox for PC, but add-ons that can be installed by normal procedures are limited to some add-ons recommended by Mozilla. However, in version 107.0 b1 of 'Firefox Beta', which can use the functions before introduction to the official version, it is possible to install add-ons other than Mozilla recommended add-ons.

When the installation is complete, tap 'Open'.
When Firefox Beta starts, tap the button at the bottom right of the screen.
When the menu appears, tap 'Settings'.
Next, tap 'About Firefox Beta' at the bottom of the setting item list.
When you see the screen below, tap the Firefox logo five times in a row to activate the debug menu.
After enabling the debug menu, an item called 'Custom Add-on Collection' will be added to the setting screen, so tap it.
When the Add Custom Add-ons Collection screen appears, enter the ID (a few digits) and name of the collection you created in the steps above and tap OK.
Then, Firefox Beta will automatically quit, so start it again.
When Firefox Beta starts up, press the button at the bottom right of the screen and tap 'Add-ons'.
Then, the add-ons added to the collection are displayed, so you can add your favorite add-ons to Firefox Beta from here.
In addition, since the function added to Firefox Beta will be added to the stable version of Firefox in the future after the test period, it seems likely that the add-on addition function will be installed in the stable version of Firefox in the near future.
