Yes, WebExtensions can be used for Extensions for Firefox for Android.1 Primary support is available starting with Firefox for Android version 48. However, there is support for a smaller set of APIs then are available on desktop Firefox. You can see the list of available APIs on MDN's Browser support for JavaScript APIs page. The column you are interested in is "Firefox for Android".


  1. I just updated the page to explicitly state that WebExtensions are possible and preferred. You may have to hit Ctrl-F5 to see the updated page.
