[Support] How do I access the Web Archives addon on Firefox mobile (efficiently)?

I'm trying to use the Web Archives addons on Firefox Mobile and I have it installed and can configure it but I'm not sure how to actually use it. I can't right click like on desktop. Maybe I'm missing something obvious. Thanks.

Edit: so I guess I can go into the main menu, open my extension list, select Web Archives, then select the archive source I want to view the current page in. I suppose it works, but with that many taps it hardly seems any faster than just copying the url and pasting it in an archive.is bookmark. If anyone know a more efficient way please let me know.

Edit2: actually, changing this setting and reducing the included archives helps

  • tap 3 dots
  • tap "Extensions"
  • tap the web archives extension and use one of the options

That's how I use it, but I don't use the right click menu on the desktop version. What do you usually do when you right click?

Open tab in archive basically, but I edited my post with a way to make it slightly faster. Thanks for your help.

Thanks! I just set up mine the same way

You're welcome. Guess this post wasn't pointless then.
