Make extension available in Firefox for Android #1485

Describe the feature you'd like to request

Firefox is now allowing all extensions marked as "Android compatible" on mobile.
This would mean having Floccus directly in the browser like the desktop versions currently.

Describe the solution you'd like

Mozilla news piece about extension support on Android

Porting guide

Describe alternatives you've considered

The current application works fine, though I often forget to use it and it is slightly less convenient.

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus and have been maintaining it ever since.
I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one
than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

Yes, good idea. Unfortunately, firefox for Android does not support all extensions, yet. Floccus is not among the supported

I sideloaded it on Firefox beta, however it does not work.

Importing a profile does nothing.

I believe it is related to this:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1812408

So it might be a Mozilla problem.

Once the "Firefox for Android" column on this page turns green, we can talk again :)
