Extension development on android platform

I have seen the pinned topics discussing how to develop firefox extension (i already know how to make google chrome extension so migrating isn’t that difficult). However, the problem is i can’t find a good source to learn how to develop android firefox extension.

Please be more specific.
What sources have you found?

If you already know how to develop desktop extensions, you could start with Differences between desktop and Android extensions | Firefox Extension Workshop

@hans_squared, I looked up that page. So does this mean I don’t have to add anything to my desktop extension just upload it to the android and it will work the same because the site just shows how to set up the emulator and check for incompatible permissions

Yes, I think so, as long as you follow the instructions in “Differences between desktop and Android extensions”.
(someone please correct me if I’m wrong)

The major limitation, in case you don’t know, is that Android will only run add-ons in Nightly - unless they’re ‘recommended’ ones - and running them in Nightly is not simple. That limits who can use it.

A simple chrome extension may only need an extra line or two in the manifest - which Chrome will ignore.

that’s not a problem to me because the extension i am building is for me only :slight_smile:

I managed to run the extension but it just runs temporarly as long as the adb bridge is set up . I tried the collections method but since my addon is not listed in the store it couldn’t be added
