It's a bunch of things. Not having extensions however removed a potentially differentiating feature, which certainly didn't help.

But mobile Firefox does have extensions. It's just not a big number.

I just counted, it's 22... and there a lot of redundancy in there. So I'd say that FF on mobile had extensions technically. Want something as extreme as RES or some video downloader? You have with fiddle with nightly... which barely any average user would.
