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

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!
Import custom filter
Bypass Paywalls Clean
I think it's this one

Try custom collections feature:

Use Kiwi browser instead.
