How to install unsigned extension/addon on Firefox Android 48
Requirement:
File Explorer, for me: ES File Manager Pro
xpi file, a.k.a. the extension/addon
Do this on your own risk. I am not responsible for anything bad that happens to your phone or any property.
Procedure :
Install latest Firefox for Android ( or BETA )
Open configuration of Firefox, by typing
about:config
Search xpinstall
change the value of “xpinstall.signatures.required” to false
Download xpi file and/or put the file into phone storage
if you don’t know where to put, put it into your Download folder
create "install.html" file inside the same folder that xpi exist
contents:
<html> <body> <a href={xpi file name}>{some text}</a> </body> </html>
for example:
<html> <body> <a href=tiddlyfox.xpi>tiddlyfox</a> </body> </html>
Open the html file via Frefox
click the link {some text}
Do this on your own risk.
“Allow” if pop-up “Blocked add-on”
“Install” if pop-up “Unverified add-on”
Restart if needed
If the extension show in the add-on manager, congratulation !
