My phone won’t open xpi files and the only solutions I’ve been able to find is either create a html file in the same folder, which I don’t know how to do on android, or download and install an extension which is ALSO only available as an xpi 🤦
Well I use Fennec for Android from F-Droid, which has the option of using custom collections for addons.
I don’t think it’s possible yet on “normal” Firefox other than Nightly.
Looks like it SHOULD work, but when I search for addons, I get quick (far too quick to select any of them m) flashes of gray rectangles where suggestions would normally be and no search results after I execute the search.
I’m beginning to suspect that the Firefox app is broken 😕

Bypass Paywalls extension for Firefox.
Works better and for more sites in my experience.
How do I install it on Firefox android, though?

Yeah, on the advice of someone else itt, I switched to Nightly and that worked 🙂

is that one of those where you need to manually import the extension into the browser?
Yeah, it would seem so. Can’t do that, though, owing to the aforementioned refusal of my phone to have anything to do with xpi files 😮💨
oh on a phone? hmm… no idea on that one
You could instead use the Web Archives extension. Works for most common paywalls.
I believe you have to use nightly. Try this https://ghacks.net/2020/10/01/you-can-now-install-any-add-on-in-firefox-nightly-for-android-but-it-is-complicated/
That worked! Awesome, thanks, I tried a few other methods last week with no luck
Yay, that works! Thank you!

No luck there, couldn’t get it to work on any of the Firefox forks. I eventually got it working in Kiwi Browser
