This is not a bug, just a general question. I was disappointed to see Firefox for iOS (iPad air 2) does not have addons. When will Firefox addons be available for Firefox iOS?

What the word Addons refers to https://addons.mozilla.org/faq

Firefox for iOS is basically a shell browser and is not like the Android Firefox or the desktop Firefox for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux. It does not even use the Gecko engine the Android and desktop Firefox uses.

Unless Extensions are made to support both, extensions made for desktop Firefox will not work on Android version of Firefox and same with other way.

There is also the restrictions by Apple.

Not sure if WebExtensions will be a option.

Also of note, the vast majority of Extensions for desktop and Android Firefox hosted at addons.mozilla.org are by a third-party author or company and not from Mozilla.
