As of late in Firefox Android I cannot get any add on to install. I've temporarily disabled 'YouTube high definition' after some strange behavior and when I tried to reinstall it or ANY of the list of curated addons I get the same failed to install message. I can no longer download any of the addons and I can't seem to figure out why. I've restarted and cleared cache multiple times but it doesn't work. Any solutions?

The very old architectural version of FFA had a plugin that enabled viewing image ToolTips by long-pressing an image. That plugin was not supported in the newer FFA.

Since then, I have to turn on my PC to use FFW to see them with the mouse.

IMHO, FFA is missing very basic functionality that I've patiently waited years to return to the newest FFA, but to no sucess.

Thank you.

For over a decade, mobile users have had no addons for browsers (including Firefox,) how much longer will this last? There are like 10 sponsored addons (out of 10 million for desktop) that install, the rest only let you download the .xpi file (with nowhere to put the file.) Where is the mobile Firefox extensions folder to put the .xpi files for mobile Firefox? I have been waiting for over a decade for such basic support, I am about to abandon Android forever.

I think it was Firefox 52 or somewhere around the time that Firefox 52 came out, there was an addon that allowed users to spoof their device. I could make my Android phone appear to various websites, to be a Computer, a Tablet, an iphone, etc. Does Firefox still have that Addon? If so, how can I download it? If not, does anyone know where I might find a similar one?

Thank You.

Hi

I have installed firefox on my Samsung S 6 tablet (bought 2022). I can't get Firefox to show a task bar (or bookmarks menu - but the bookmarks do exist from sync) and I can't add in 1password. I synced with my desktop (where firefox and 1 password work perfectly well) and tried everything I can from online suggestions - but either they haven't worked or some of the settings they refer to don't exist in the Android version of firefox. 1 Password - which is also installed on the device - does not show up in the list of add ons accessed via the Firefox 3-dot menu; and doesn't show up either if 1 password is open or closed . I've wasted hours on this and getting nowhere. Any help would be appreciated

Thankyou RC

I downloaded, installed the Firefox browser. The browser works but I downloaded it the so I could use all the add on extensions available. The log in button won't load either on mobile or desktop mode on my phone (samsung note10). I wanted to use the Mp3 Downloader ext. specifically & ad blocker for both YouTube & browser. I logged in from a link from search page but it won't stayed logged in on new tab. And I'm back to same problem when I couldn't add extensions. It let's me download file but won't let me open or install extensions says can't open xpi. Files. And could you recommend best youtube mp3 Downloader extensions. Thank you. I've been trying for hours to figure it out.

I recently downloaded Firefox for Android on my Android 13 device but as I tried opening the menu for the add-on, nothing was found. No supported add-ons were there in the list. I tried doing so from Mozilla add-on the Web page but that didn't help either. What can I do now?

I use Firefox across all my devises, Desktop, Tablet & phone. I added Dashlane password manager as an addon to my desktop, years ago, at Firefox/Mozilla recommendation and love it. Recently I upgraded my Dashlane account to be able to sync across all my devises only to find I cannot ad Dashlane as an addon on Android devices. I read there is an upgrade in the works for Addons for Firefox on Android... 1. Will this allow me to add Dashlane? 2. If so when and how? 3. If not why, when it was recommended by you in the first place? As a long term user of Firefox/Mozilla I have often recommended using it, to many of my friends, but if the Addons are limited on Android it no longer seems to be a good recommendation. Even though I can still use Dashlane with a work around on Android I love the convenience of having the password manager as Addon on the Browser. If you have no plans to add Dashlane soon I will have to think about switching to a browser that does. 4. What are your plans going forward? Robert Beale

Hello,

I have added firefox-translations add-on to firefox android nightly. And i have some questions about it.

1. Why do I see two firefox-translations add-ons when i click on add-ons when on a website?(look picture)

2. if i want to translate something i need to put my phone horizontal instead of vertical. I don't really mind that but why is that?(look pictures)

3. I saw on github i can test somethings from firefox-translations add-on for android but i don't understand the instructions to get it. Can someone explain it wider for me.(see link) https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations/#testing

Greetings,

Jeppie

I want to install Video DownloadHelper or Ant video Downloader addons but both of them can't be installed. Is there a reason why some addons can't be installed on Firefox Nightly for Android? If the issue is the addon, how should the developer fix to make it support? Any technical details are welcome

Hi,

I just transferred from a Pixel 4a to a pixel 7. Previously, everything on the ad blocking front worked well. But since the transfer, any ad blocking extension seems not to be working in any shape or form.

I have used Firefox on Android for years and at some point, it updated and all of a sudden none of my addons were compatible.

A couple of those were incredibly useful. For instance, I do not use the Facebook app, I only access it through the web. Until the change, I had a brilliant Facebook ad blocker that worked wonders. Now, that blocker will not work.

There is no alternative available (except to revert to using Chrome who did not ruin compatibility).

What have others done?

Installing the app is not an option. Hard stop.

Is it possible for me to revert to the last prior version that actually worked with addons?

I used to be able to change add-on settings from the hamburger menu. Specifically no-script what scripts could run. Now when I select add-ons from the menu it brings me to a list of installed addons but does not allow any add-on settings to be set. I have not yet found another way and has rendered my mobile Firefox useless. What is the new way to adjust add-on settings?
