3 years ago how did you install the plugin to Firefox on Android?
The "standard" method to do it is to use Firefox Nightly. It is a little bit hidden, but actually fairly straight forward to activate. You just have to set a personal list of add-ons that you created beforehand. This feature is actually already available since September, mainly for add-on developers to optimize their add-ons for Firefox Android. Custom add-on list support is also available in stable forks of the latest versions of Firefox for Android (e.g. Fennec f-droid and Iceraven, both available via github or the f-droid app store with auto-updates).

3 years ago I used to test this for the classic Facebook and it was working. I haven't tried with the new FB5 yet.
@R0M4N0F5K7 Do you know the problem? It should be easy to fix. Facebook was not trying too hard to obfuscate stuff on mobile version.
When I use the addon on facebook's mobile homepage Firefox Android it 1) doesn't filter group suggestions 2) seems to filter way too much - basically everything that is not a post on someone's personal profile - every fan-sites you follow our group posts seem to be generally blocked which might be what results in the following issue: 3) after every other post it takes a few seconds to load a few new posts, laggy experience.
So I don't know if there is interest in making this work on mobile, but it would certainly be appreciated. Thanks for the addon (working great on desktop) either way.
