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...
