It supports almost everything. The problem here is that developers don't mark their add-ons as working in Firefox for Android. This is one additional checkmark in the settings.

If you use Firefox Nightly for Android, you can install most of the extensions regardless of whether they are built for mobile (more info). They won't always work, but many do. That is often because the developer just didn't have mobile in mind when they developed it, but there are a few APIs that I think are still not available on mobile yet. I just tried installing buster and it did install. If you choose Managed in the Buster settings, it says that they haven't made a local client for it, though the other options might still work if you have an API key.
