Starting December 14, 2023, extensions marked as Android compatible on addons.mozilla.org (AMO) will be openly available to Firefox for Android users.
“We’ve been so impressed with developer enthusiasm and preparation,” said Giorgio Natili, Firefox Director of Engineering. “Just a few weeks ago it looked like we might have a couple hundred Android extensions for launch, but now we can safely say AMO will have 400+ new Firefox for Android extensions available on December 14. We couldn’t be more thankful to our developer community for embracing this exciting moment.”
In anticipation of the launch of open extensions on Android, we just added a link to “Explore all Android extensions” on AMO’s Android page to make it easy to discover new content. And just for fun and to offer a taste of what’s to come, we also released a couple dozen new open extensions for Android. You can find them listed beneath the Recommended Extensions collection on that AMO Android page. Try a few out!
Firefox on Android should be opened up entirely. Right now I use Mull which is mostly free
Unless I am misunderstanding you, it is, on Dec 14.
Extensions just have to specify they are compatible.
That is for stable. Nightly does it for month allready. You just browse all those extensions and Install button is there.
Yeah, I'm aware. My fault for not specifying I was talking about stable.
I was talking about the source code for the browser
It is opensource. The only thing that aren't are some required Google Play libraries for notifications and the EME - Firefox can't make those open as it doesn't control them.

That's not enough. I want something that doesn't have any non-free software, period. It would be one think if it was just a matter of removing some notification libraries but the proprietary software is so tightly integrated that even Mull isn't completely free
