Hold on, you can install desktop add-ons on Fennec? How can I accomplish that? I only ever found the officially supportet add-ons like uBlock and PrivacyBadger.
Custom Collection https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-use-collections-addonsmozillaorg
This works in Beta, Nightly, and all the forks (iirc).
Awesome, I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing!
Personally, I use the Mull fork of Firefox - wonder if it works for that as well. I don't feel a need to have 1:1 functionality on my phone and computer so I haven't gone down that path yet, but now this conversation has me pondering it.
With recent beta, besides creating a custom collection, you can now install directly from extensions pages. You may have to toggle desktop to make it works.
