Just to fill this in: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central has a nice blame bar on the left, but https://searchfox.org/mozilla-mobile does not have such a bar. kats suggests that this is just not yet implemented for submodule agglomerations like mozilla-mobile.

Quoting myself from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1523349#c6 with some interesting new context below which I think suggests this use-case may be self-mooting / should be addressed outside of searchfox's custom handling other than indexing the new mono-repo.
In terms of this general use case https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/issues/12751 announced the creation of a mono-repo-ish thing that will live at https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android. It seems like this won't completely obsolete the use-case for searchfox's synthetic mozilla-mobile mono-repo, but arguably the right next step for that is likely for the https://github.com/mozilla-mobile org to publish its own mono-repo with automation to keep it updated, ideally using git subtrees (probably?) and searchfox can then index that; this blog post I randomly found via search I think generally captures my thoughts and steps for how that might be done. I believe this would immediately address the lack of annotate/blame support for the existing synthetic mozilla-mobile.

Going to declare this WFM since the mobile repositories of note are being folded into mozilla-central. There's also a WONTFIX component to this when it comes to blame support for submodules, but that said, I think it would be feasible to support the mozilla-mobile idiom where searchfox can support a composite repo type where we have N sibling repositories that are all their own completely separate trees but exposed from within a single search/semantic namespace. In particular, this would be useful for web standards.
