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

    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.

          🤷‍♂️

            Hm, idk I was able to create the collections with desktop addons on mobile (fennec as well), didn’t need a desktop.

            I get that its more inconvenient to get the addons this way though, maybe if everyone complained to mozilla they’d consider unlocking desktop addons by default rather than having users resort to this.

              It does seem an odd decision on their part. There must be some factor(s) that made them go that way?
