Is that even possible?

It's a good question. I've not used Firefox Android, but I'll have a look and report back.

Sorry I forgot to update this issue.

So I did a bit of investigation, and found that Firefox Android doesn't have the concept of context menus, therefore we cannot use what we've got now.

We have 2 options.

  1. Have a "Open in Freedium" floating button whenever a user visits a Medium page
  2. Automatically redirect the user to Freedium

The problem is that we'll have to request the permission to change ALL URLs (https://*/*), which is potentially a lot to ask for, for a simple extension like this. And it may turn users away.

Any thoughts?

In my opinion, the first solution will be more acceptable. Somewhere on the page, a button or a floating button
