[Affected versions]: - Fennec 57.0b5 (20171002204958) [Prerequisites] - set extensions.legacy.enabled to true [Affected platforms]: - Android 6.0.1 - Android 7.1.2 [Steps to reproduce]: 1.Try to install the following extension from local storage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/685614/type:attachment/ublock_origin-1.13.8-an+fx+sm+tb.xpi?src=version-history [Expected results]: - The legacy add-on can be installed. [Actual results]: - The snackbar “Downloading add-on” is displayed and the legacy add-on can’t be installed from local storage, there are no errors displayed in the browser console. Please see the attached video.
This is deliberate, just like on desktop the extensions.legacy.enabled preference is only honored on nightly (and dev edition but I don't think that exists for Fennec?)
