Republish Addon for Firefox Android Addon

Open sirati opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Mozilla has released a new firefox android version which sadly changed the addon format for some irrational reason and thus old addons can no longer be installed.

I presume, but do not know, that this is simply an issue of repackiging.

I accidently first posted it on the chrome addon github due to this one not being linked in the addon or coming up when googled. https://github.com/igrigorik/videospeed/issues/697

The addon were made with firefox pc on mind not actually for firefox android. When there is no problem with firefox pc the author does not update the addon for firefox andriod. We can only wait for when the author update it for the latest version of firefox android. My recommendation if others user truely wanted to use the addon they need to downgrade their version of firefox andriod to old version 68 but it is not recomended because it doesnot have security update like version 84.

Hello and thank you for the information. I myself do not know why firefox chose to change to format used for addons on mobile as they worked perfectly fine beforehand. I do not condone that nonsensical move by mozilla. I am currently working around this issue by not upgrading firefox to the latest version, but i am afraid that might soon become to dangerous security wise.

I do not know as i have not verified myself, but I hope that this is just a repackaging issue.
