My phone won’t open xpi files and the only solutions I’ve been able to find is either create a html file in the same folder, which I don’t know how to do on android, or download and install an extension which is ALSO only available as an xpi 🤦
Looks like it SHOULD work, but when I search for addons, I get quick (far too quick to select any of them m) flashes of gray rectangles where suggestions would normally be and no search results after I execute the search.
I’m beginning to suspect that the Firefox app is broken 😕
Well I use Fennec for Android from F-Droid, which has the option of using custom collections for addons.
I don’t think it’s possible yet on “normal” Firefox other than Nightly.
Bypass Paywalls extension for Firefox.
Works better and for more sites in my experience.
How do I install it on Firefox android, though?

I believe you have to use nightly. Try this https://ghacks.net/2020/10/01/you-can-now-install-any-add-on-in-firefox-nightly-for-android-but-it-is-complicated/
That worked! Awesome, thanks, I tried a few other methods last week with no luck
Yay, that works! Thank you!
Import custom filter
Bypass Paywalls Clean
I think it’s this one

Try custom collections feature:

Yeah, on the advice of someone else itt, I switched to Nightly and that worked 🙂
You could instead use the Web Archives extension. Works for most common paywalls.

No luck there, couldn’t get it to work on any of the Firefox forks. I eventually got it working in Kiwi Browser
Use Kiwi browser instead.
