Hi Delia!
Sorry, my bad.

STR.

1. Go to Settings, about Firefox.
2. Tap 10 times the Fenix logo.
3. Go back, a new option will show up "Install add-on from file"
4. Select an .XPI file for example you could download Ublock oring .

After 4, the add-on should be installed successfully.
Thanks for verifying!

Hi Arturo!
I was not able to install the uBlock Origin add-on with the steps provided on the latest Nightly 122.0a1 from 12/7 on Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (Android 9).

On Google Pixel 6 (Android 14), and Oppo Find N2 Flip (Android 13), with the same build from 12/7 the add-on installation went smoothly.
