Finally. You've been able to use desktop addons this whole time, but you have to do a whole runaround:

  • Create Firefox account
  • Sign in on desktop
  • Install the add-ons you want
  • Create an app collection and publish it
  • Sign in on mobile
  • Enable developer mode
  • Download your custom app collection
  • (Optional: sign out on both devices)

Yeah, and it only worked on some add-ons, for some reason.

Fortunately IceRaven supports pretty much all extensions. Only few of them actually work however.
