Does this also work for Firefox on Android?

EDIT: it seems that it's not compatible with Firefox 35 on my Android. Oh well, more patience required :-)

Bluhell Firewall does work on Firefox for Android, if you're looking for an ad blocker while you wait for µBlock.

And so do Adblock Plus and Adblock Edge. The reason I am interested in this is because of much lower resource consumption than either of those.

I haven't tried Bluehell Firewall though. Can you comment on its performance as compared to Adblock Plus/Edge?

Bluhell is touted as a lighter weight solution. I haven't taken measurements, but Firefox Mobile certainly feels snappier with Bluhell than with Adblock Plus/Edge.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

For system level blocking on Android, I've come to like AdAway (root required).
