Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Preferable wouldn't require rooting the phone, but curious to hear if there is a way that requires rooting also.

Yes. Install old version of ff from apk mirror like 68 , install xpi from the app, go to website to dl, and then update to latest ff. Add-on may not be enabled but should be active. Works for me for my add-on.

Brilliant! That did work. The addon itself didn't really work, but I had it installed, so I count that as a win :D

Update: IceRaven (a firefox fork) has added supports .xpi and desktop add-ons a while back (so, sorry for late reply)

You can't. If you're on Nightly you can use collections to install any add-on on AMO, but installing from outside AMO is still “on our radar for the future”.

I never installed a .xpi on android myself, but from what I found on mozzilla forums it USED to be possible, but that feature is long gone :(

Maybe with a Firefox fork ???
