Whenever I try to install an Android extension, except for the Recommended ones, by pressing “Add to firefox”, I’m prompted to download the .xpi file and when it finishes I press " Open file" but I get an error saying I don’t have any app which can open those files.
Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix it?
I’m on Mull 120.1.0
You may check this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/censor-tracker/ and see yourself. It is not compatible with Android Firefox, Install button is not active. However it could be installed with custom collection… But we go easy way and switch mobile view to desktop view… Well yeah, the button Install is active now and extension could be installed. It won’t work as expected, proxy support sucks in Firefox.
Mv3 is not needed either, uBlock Origin is mv2 extension.
Huh. I dunno what the actual requirements for Android compatibility are then. Anyhow, being recommended or in a custom collection isn’t strictly a requirement anymore.
Yes no need for custom collection, but installing unsupported extensions from desktop view seems to be a bug, which they could fix anytime.
Yeah, that indeed sounds like a bug.
