Folks I downloaded bypass paywall clean d here and am trying to set it up (on android, mull). After I had to remove the old one, yknow.

I enable the debug menu, click install extension from file but then idk what I'm doing wrong. I did extract the file but nothing seems to work?

Would appreciate any help, thanks!

In the past FF Android did not support local XPI files.

"Bypass Paywalls Clean" got a "cease and desist" of some random press site likely. They sent that to Mozilla, Mozilla took down the addon.

But this had no consequences for them, so after a long discussion another guy just stepped up and published the Addon on AMO again.

Which now seems to have been taken down too...

There is now a different version but that is 3 months old.

Local .xpi files are a very good new feature for censorship prevention.

Edit: okay LOL that user is now blocked on Gitlab .com !

But it is continued here on Github, for now...
