If you use Android, Firefox on Android is also really nice because it can sync with your desktop and also has about a dozen extensions (ublock origin, dark reader, etc.)[1].
And then Iceraven[2] is even better, because it's just Firefox for Android, but with several hundred extensions enabled and a few other annoyances fixed.
(A few years ago all extensions were enabled on Firefox on Android, but a few didn't work so they decided to limit it to a very short list of allowed ones. And then they let that list stagnate for years. Kind of a dick move IMO.)
If you use iOS, then "Firefox" is really just a skin on Safari, so no extensions (this is entirely Apple's fault), but the sync features work, so that's something if you use Windows or Linux.

After years of negative user feedback, Mozilla finally enabled custom add-on collections in Firefox Beta for Android last October, which allows any add-on from addons.mozilla.org to be installed again. (Firefox Nightly for Android recieved this option in 2020, but the nightly channel was not stable enough for my daily use.)
Yeah, I almost wish there weren't workarounds, because then I feel like there'd be more pressure on Mozilla to reverse course and re-enable addons in the normal release.
fyi you can create a custom list of addons and tell iceraven to use that custom list, so all extensions can be installed (but are not guaranteed to work) on iceraven now.
