I skimmed through the wiki but couldn't find it. I saw maybe there's a way to get firefox nightly to allow any plugin? But I couldn't figure it out. Anyone have a guide or solution to bypass paywall on Android?

I've tried and tried to install the bypass paywall xpi in Firefox nightly on android and I just can't get it to install. It seems like FF has no clue what to do with xpi files anymore.

I tried the install.html trick I found on stack overflow but FF keeps downloading the xpi and won't install it. The GitHub extension installer no longer exists. Root explorer and other file managers dont work.

Good luck! I'll be checking back to see if anyone gets it figured out.

There's actually a way to install xpi files but it requires root unfortunately. There was a recent video posted on YouTube that shows modifications to the .json file in the data folder. If you're rooted definitely worth checking it out
