Mobile (Firefox Nightly for Android)

[sk365]

Hi, your extension is brilliant. But as far as I see unfortunately only for desktop so far. Is there a way to make it work for Firefox Nightly Android? Best Stefan

@sk365 Try out Kiwi Browser which supports chrome extensions. I have tried it myself and markdownload works great in it. https://github.com/kiwibrowser/src.next/releases

Hm, it seems the latest release includes support (?) for the Firefox Android nightly. Anyone tried this and can comment here?

I installed Firefox Nightly (version below) on my GS21Ultra running Android 12, and followed the instructions for creating an add-on collection and configuring FF nightly to use it, however the list of supported extensions is only 17, and does not include markdownload. Is there some way to sideload this extension?

I was able to get this working with Firefox Nightly following the instructions to add a collection. In the Markdownload settings I did need to change the Download Mode to Context Link. Downloading of files would not work with the Downloads API.

Hi, @junnunkarim can Kiwi Browser really download the markdown file?
I tried Kiwi browser and the extension, it indeed pop out a download window (like in the desktop), but when I click download, it does nothing ...

Is it normal on your side?

I installed Kiwi browser from Google Play store. Is it different from the link you provided?

Hello there @NianzuMa It is probable that markdownload is not working for you because your kiwi browser doesn't have the permission to download files, You can either try to change the permission settings or try to download something else using kiwi browser. After that try out markdownload again.

But recently I have stopped using kiwi (I mostly use bromite), so I use a different app called Markdownr to convert webpage to markdown and It works great.

Hope this helps.
