Reminder that Firefox nightly and Fennec (Mull should be fine too) can install add-ons from file on Android.

I just tried with Fennec and failed. How do you proceed ?

You need to activate the developers options/debug menu:

Settings -> About Fennec -> tap on the fennec logo multiple times

Go back to settings the option to install from files should appear.

Yes, it worked. Thank you so much :)

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see any option to install from files with Fennec? Only from a collection. And it seems you can't add bypass paywalls clean to a collection because it's not in the AMO.

Edit: nvm had to update Fennec

[–] moitoi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

The option showed up in 123 if I remember correctly.

Ah, and here I was thinking installing addons from file was impossible on Android. Thanks!

It's was a thing years ago and became a thing again last month or in February in nightly.
