Description
Kindly requesting a few modifications so that Vimium can be available in Firefox for Android (woo!). In the Firefox support site they replied that the dev would have to submit an Android compatible version.
At minimum, it will then become available for Firefox Nightly and Firefox Beta, but this extension is so widely used among devs that I should think it would be one of the few made available for all Firefox Android users.

Hello @trustdan. The extension developer would have to submit an Android compatible version of their extension - this is not something we control on our side.
Thank you – Ed"
