Mobile FF is already awesome with UBlock Origin and YT background playback extensions. I wish to install an auto redirect extension. (Twitter to Nitter) I know it is doable on beta w/ extensions etc. but I want to see them on normal Firefox.

Have a look at YouTube ReVanced if you want a much better YouTube experience on Android. :)

I used to have an app to do the redirection on several sites automically but afair the Nitter thing was just so unstable that I removed the app.

Same, like 30% of the time it worked, the other 70% it would be very slow or not load at all

It might have been some time ago, because even the main instance has been consistently working for me as of recent

Yeah this winter and spring

You can install tamper monkey and use a userscript to redirect. That's what I do.
