How do I install it on Firefox android, though?

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 🤦

That worked! Awesome, thanks, I tried a few other methods last week with no luck

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 2 points 10 months ago

Yay, that works! Thank you!

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 😕

[-] SirToxicAvenger@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

is that one of those where you need to manually import the extension into the browser?

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 10 months ago

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 😮‍💨

[-] SirToxicAvenger@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

oh on a phone? hmm... no idea on that one

[-] ArtikBanana@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 3 points 10 months ago

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

You could instead use the Web Archives extension. Works for most common paywalls.

Use Kiwi browser instead.
