Since Mozilla isn't willing to allow more than 18 pre-selected add-ons on the release and beta channels of Firefox for Android, forks like Iceraven fulfill an unmet need for users who want access to more add-ons, but don't want the occasional instability of the nightly channel. One thing that is still missing from Iceraven, Mull, etc. is the ability to sideload add-ons that are not published on addons.mozilla.org. Currently, anyone who wants to use a private Firefox add-on that is not suitable to be published on AMO must install v68 of Firefox or v68 of a fork like Fennec F-Droid. Edit: In one of the Iceraven issues on GitHub ( https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser/issues/... ), someone recommended a Firefox for Android fork called SmartCookieWeb-Preview for sideloading .xpi add-on files into Firefox from arbitrary URLs: https://github.com/CookieJarApps/SmartCookieWeb-Preview/ . The preview app is not available on F-Droid yet, but I'm going to try it out. Edit 2: It worked in SmartCookieWeb-Preview. I had to go into about:config and set "xpinstall.signatures.required" to "false" before sideloading the add-on in the settings (Advanced settings > Sideload XPI). I hope this app makes it into F-Droid soon.
