On Firefox for Android all extensions must be present in the AMO store at the time of installation, no sideloading - even of signed addons.
Mozilla banned non-store extensions in their last Firefox for Android overhaul a few years ago and afaik does not plan to allow them again.
This is the reason why the anti-paywall extensions are all gone/DMCAed.
It's a massive power shift away from the user. No idea why Mozilla did that.
- zarzavat 3y agoHow do you develop extensions then? Surely it must be possible somehow.
- NBPEL 3y agoNot impossible, at all. The answer is Firefox Nightly or Firefox Developer, you're freely to install unsigned addons in these editions.

How would I install an unsigned addon there? I don't think it's possible. ... but if it were, this would be very useful to get the Anti-Paywall addons back.
- NBPEL 3y agoIt's called Sideload XPI, iirc Firefox Nightly allows you to sideload XPI if you enable Experimental by tapping Firefox logo in About 7 times. But it's easier with Ice Raven or Smart Cookie Web Preview: - https://old.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/18ezd3g/iceraven_now_allows_extensions_to_be_installed/ https://old.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/18ezd3g/iceraven_... - https://github.com/CookieJarApps/SmartCookieWeb-Preview/releases/ https://github.com/CookieJarApps/SmartCookieWeb-Preview/rele...
- mx20 3y agoOpera and MS Edge for Android don't support extensions as well. So my guess is, the Playstore rules won't allow it.
