Hello, I created a custom collection and added the extension "Bypass Paywalls Firefox Clean" to my collection, but I can't get it to show up in my Add-ons on Firefox Nightly Android browser. I can't access it. Thanks very much!

I noticed that there is another version of the add-on referred to as "custom"(c) for Firefox Android and I added it to my collection, but still no help. The same result, not able to access it. --- "Bypass Paywalls Clean (c) by magnolia1234 Bypass Paywalls of (custom) news sites. Custom add-on version with default access to all sites (to enable custom sites on Firefox Android which has no optional permissions)" and also I also read this, but still no help. Thanks in advance! https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extension-support-in-firefox-for-android-nightly/

Hi

Please appreciate that the method outlined us not guaranteed to work - it is designed for testing. There is not currently the support for more add-ons in Firefox for Android.

Thanks for your help, but I found the solution thanks to Github. The problem is that the collection must be named with the dashes in it just like it would appear in a web link. If you don't include the dashes between the words then it won't connect and you won't be able to access it. Please see the GitHub explanation below. Problem solved now. Thanks very much! https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/15529
