When pushing the link to view all available add-ons, I am then directed to the mozilla web site however it states that I must have firefox installed to use these add-ons! I do have it installed and it is fustrating as it wont allow me to download any add-ons.

Is it possible that your Firefox for Android is identifying as a different browser? You could try viewing the user agent string on my test page:

I see: Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:37.0) Gecko/37.0 Firefox/37.0

Is that what you see?
