Note 5 Firefox for android unable to download all addons

I just installed Firefox for Android on a new Note 5 and i am unable to download any addons. When i click on the link that says ‘add to firefox’ it says ‘downloading addon’ but i cannot find any trace of the download in the tools section or under addons. Can anybody help me?

The addon you showed appears not to be compatible with Firefox for Android. I looked inside it - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/354234/perapera_chinese_popup_dictionary-12.4.2.0-fx.xpi - and the install.rdf file does not include Firefox for Android as a target application.

I don’t know if dictionaries are different, but for an ordinary addon look on the AMO page for an addon under Version Information or Version Notes. My addon that does support Firefox for Android says “Works with: Firefox for Android 38.0a1 - 42.*, Firefox 38.0a1 and later”.

But I think it should have given you an error message so maybe that’s a bug. What do others think?

I tried it on my Nexus 7. As you say it gives no indication that the load fails. Looking on the log I see it downloads, calls a version check - which includes the argument ‘incompatible’ - and then cancels the download.
