Small nitpick, but AMO is just our internal acronym for addons.mozilla.org, which is where all the extensions come from!

Yeah, just do these 5 steps in FF, then register at that website, and do a bunch of steps there for every single extension you want to install.

Or rather, if you just want extension support, don't use FF. (I for one am very happy with Kiwi. OP fork also sounds nice.)

It's a bit inconvenient but you only need to do it once. I like Kiwi as well and it seems to get frequent updates now, at least as github releases (play store version is updated less often).

No, I'll forever need to register my Firefoxes on mobile, and fight any 'inadvertent' changes that store personal data in the future.

I prefer my software stateless, having me register accounts adds work and seems to me to be at best a silly workaround.

The question is, why I would want to install a nightly just for add-ons? To my knowledge you f.e. need an add-on to block a specific cookie, because FF Android doesn't have this option... The question is when/if the product manager at Mozilla will realize the state of the browser at some point :/ I can just say that as far as I am concerned, the only thing that is keeping me with FF Android is the vendor lock-in with FF Sync.

Yeah, this is dumb as hell. Thankfully, Fennec F-Droid enables it for stable builds.

Thats a lot of fragile manual steps, not to mention needing a user account and being dependent on Mozilla infra. Hardly straightforward + not to mention addons on Android Firefox overall still barely working in the new Android version, with no visible progress to fix that.

So now I need to create accounts and lists, where I really just wanted one particular add-on. Its a workaround at best.

You can also use Iceraven's custom extension collection on firefox nightly.

userid: 16201230

name: What-I-want-on-Fenix

I loved this idea, but it doesn't seem to work for me. I can browse a long list of extensions at this collection on the web [0], but FF Nightly only shows a small subset of them.

Is this a pagination issue or something?
