A little while back Mozilla put out a post ushering addon developers to prep their addons but I haven't heard anything else since, I don't wanna update to early and loose everything I already got

I've had add-ons on my mobile Firefox for a while now. I dunno what everyone is talking about.

Is ublock a weird addon or something?

You should have limited access to addons on stable Firefox.

On Firefox Beta/Nightly/Mull/Fennec, you can enable 'Custom Add-on Collection'.

On Iceraven the developer already set it up for you.

To enable it, go to settings, about <browser-name>, tap the logo 3(?) times, and add your own collection.

Or add Iceraven collection, with 16201230 on the 'Collection owner (User ID)' field, and What-I-want-on-Fenix on the 'Collection name'.

Yep. So far only a few officially blessed addons have been supported: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/4757633/7dfae8669acc4312a65e8ba5553036/

I think Mozilla was even going through and filling out the extension APIs on mobile based on what the extensions they wanted to support the most actually needed.

AFAIU, they're now getting ready to open it up more broadly.
