Support for Firefox Andoid(FR)

[WasteOfO2]

Hello! Appreciate the initiative (^^)

The extension isnt supported on Firefox for Android(cannot confirm for iOS).

Tamper monkey isn't available for mobile either.

Are there plans to support this extension for mobile platforms? If not, what are our options

Thank you for this project, have a great day (^^)

Unfortunately we have no control over whether this extension can be downloaded on Firefox for Android.

We would like to enable support for more extensions on the new Firefox for Android experience and we are currently evaluating ways we can do so without introducing the compatibility and security issues from the previous version of our mobile browser for Android. We'll provide updates as soon as we have more details.

This is Mozilla's statement about this.

You could, but use the Nightly version.

Thank you for your replies.

I have installed Nightly FF.

Weirdly enough, after creating my firefox account and logging in, I can no longer view non-reccomeded extensions.

So I am not able to add the extension to my custom collection either.

Is downloading the .xpi file and use usb-debugging to install it a viable option?

You'd have to keep reinstalling whenever there is an update, but if that's fine by you then go ahead.

Thank you

Are there any other methods to get the extension working, though?

Maybe using an older version of firefox where all extensions were supported, but I highly discourage from doing this due to safety issues. Or wait until support is added. What issues are you getting when creating a collection? I might be able to help.

Thank you for your response.

I have followed the steps mentioned in the link above about FF Nightly

The issue is as follows.

While you aren't logged in to FF Addons manager, you will not have access to collections.

Only upon creating an account, will you be able to create a collection, understandably so.

The problem with creating a collection, is that it only allows "reccomended" (aka the add ons that mozilla sees fit for mobile) add ons.

Meaning, if an add on has not been "Reccomended" by Mozilla, you cannot add it to your collection.

So essentially, there is no way of getting the extension on mobile via the Mozilla Add ons Manager.

@VihagChaturvedi I was checking the extension on android to see if it is working and there a few major bugs, I dont think the extension will work on android. I'll try fixing it.

Should this issue remain open until the bugs are ironed out?

I installed the userscript on tampermonkey on the icecraven browser(firefox fork). It works fine on the desktop version of youtube. But not on the mobile version.

There are some ways around to not being able to add different Add-ons to a collection, you can change the link to something like this

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

This will show you all the add-ons, not let you install them, but you are able to add the to collections

Or use an already created Add-on Collection, like the one one from Iceraven called "What I want on fenix" Which has Violentmonkey and Tampermonkey for userscripts, or another I personally have called "Get better Fenix" Anyway should work.

Installing on Firefox Android Nightly via a collection created with PandoraHayami's link worked well for me.

As far as I can tell, the wrong like/dislike numbers are caused by the addon's fetch for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXEspXEMP-M being redirected to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXEspXEMP-M because the mobile user header is used, even if the addon was triggered from a desktop mode tab.

[AgentConDier]

I created a test version of the addon that always adds a user-agent header to the api request, which fixes the dislike count in desktop mode. Updating the dislike count when switching videos seems to still be a problem. ~https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary_testing_r-yt-dislike/ Collection: 15368551 my-android-addons~ Extension deactivated by Mozilla

Can the script also be updated to support m.youtube.com?

I'm using an old Firefox version, but the extension doesn't work

@VihagChaturvedi You can add non recommended extensions to your collection, I've done it with my collection a few weeks ago.
