Alright, so what extensions are you guys looking forward to? On mobile I don't think about it too much cause most of the websites I use on Desktop I use as apps on Android, so a couple of website specific extensions are useless for me

@ChristianWS I use ublock origin and dark reader. Sincerely I don't miss anything else. Maybe would be good add Clean URLs to remove trackers from URLs, other than that I wouldn't mind.

This is seriously cool. I've been waiting for this for a while.
Does this mean that I'll be able to get temporary containers on Firefox Android?
That extension requires rather deep integration into the UI, which I don't think is possible for Android extensions. So, I doubt, it will become available...

Kiwi Browser has been able to use a good majority of the Chrome extension repertoire already though
So we're finally getting official support for most extensions on android?
Please please please don't' bring MV3 to Firefox for Android, Mozilla. 🤞
Why not? Mozilla already fixed the biggest issue plaguing MV3 by continuing to allow MV2 ad blockers.
They are, since there are definitely benefits and makes migration easier, but they are also allowing the support needed for adblockers to be just as strong as they are now. So it keeps the benefits while also keeping adblockers strong like right now.

The issue is that Chrome is trying to replace webRequest.BlockingResponse which is essential for content blockers, which Mozilla is pointing out and keeping supported.

MV3 existing isn't a problem. MV2 deprecation is.
