I’ve just been looking for a replacement for Firefox Beta.

    but I’m unable to add it to my Android

    did you then add that collection on the mobile app? it might also take a minute or two to appear btw

      Here’s what I did:

      • created a new collection and added few addons
      • copied the collection id from the URL
      • opened Firefox nightly and enabled custom collection menu
      • input the collection id
      • Firefox quits
      • when I open Firefox and click on Add-ons, there were no add-ons and there was an error that “Failed to query Add-ons”

      edit: added both collection id and the collection name as it appears on the URL. it is working now. Thank you for your help! :)

        I’m getting this same error. Added the collection ID and the name where?

            It wasn’t at ALL clear to me that this entire process takes place in two DIFFERENT Firefoxes: one on a desktop or laptop install and THEN on your android device!! Maybe I read thru the instructions too fast (real men don’t read instructions 😉 ) but they all seem to say “…open Firefox…” without being clear WHICH Firefox they’re referring to.

            I’ve now spent close to 3 hours trying to get 3 extensions to work/load properly into Fennec on the Android… Back to Kiwi! “It just works…” 😡

              You don’t need to use desktop firefox to do this, you can do the entire process on your phone

                    I’ve just spent another 45 minutes trying to install add-ons via Fennec ONLY. It just doesn’t work. I only have access to “approved” extensions.

                    However, when I go to my custom collection in a desktop browser I have full access to firefox addons (as you described we would)–but I have to first search and add them to the collection from the desktop browser.

                    When that’s completed, THEN I can go to Fennec and navigate to the collection and tap the “+” sign to install them into Fennec.

                    🤷‍♂️
