Yes: if you develop a Firefox add-on with the add-on SDK, it will work on the Firefox Android browser. Not all the APIs are supported, and you need to create a separate build of the add-on. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Tutorials/Mobile_development for the details.

You have heard correct. Extensions do not work on Chrome.

Does Chrome for Android support apps and extensions? Chrome apps and extensions are currently not supported on Chrome for Android. We have no plans to announce at this time. See Documentation here
