Yes you are. But it sucks. It is only possible on nightly.

Go to settings, about <Firefox version name> and click on the FF icon a lot
Go back, you will now see "custom addon collection"
Go to addons.mozilla.org and create an account. Click on your name in the top right and create a new collection. Add any addons to this collection (include all you want on mobile, these will be the only ones to be shown!)
copy the number (user ID) and the name (Addon collection name) and enter it in the field in mobile
restarts, go to addons and install them!

there are actually tons of supported addons. I maintain such a list myself. It has more than I need, but all should work and have real benefit for usability without being stupid privacy harming.

"Nightly" also includes Fennec, Mull, iode Browser and other forks like this. Its the only version supporting an about:config, thats why its used for hardening.
