Safari iOS and Firefox Android extension guide

Safari iOS and Firefox Android extensions are useful fallback channels for people who use social sites in mobile browsers. They should come after mobile web + share/copy and keyboard work because browser extensions do not solve native X app composer friction for users who reply inside native apps.

Guide

Key sections

Mobile browser users are a real but narrower segment

Some users prefer social sites in mobile browsers. Safari iOS and Firefox Android support can help them, especially if they already expect browser extension behavior from desktop workflows.

Do not split the product model

Mobile browser extensions should reuse the same account, entitlement, quota, and subscription model. Separate billing for one browser channel would confuse SEO visitors and create unnecessary support burden.

Keep native app users in mind

Browser extension support does not replace the mobile web or keyboard strategy. The highest-friction X mobile reply workflows still happen inside native app composers, where share/copy or keyboards are more relevant.
