> Please be aware of a recent change to AMO’s review process: All extension submissions with a significantly large number of users are now subject to human review by the add-ons review team before approval. This may, occasionally, result in minor delays publishing new versions of your extension on AMO. We’ve made this change to provide Firefox users with even greater security assurances for some of AMO’s most popular extensions.
If you want to permanently install the latest [master ZIP-file from GitLab](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean/-/archive/master/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean-master.zip) (with post-release fixes) use a Firefox browser which allows using unsigned add-ons like Firefox Developer Portable (go to about:config and set xpinstall.signatures.required to false) or LibreWolf (for both no automatic updates of add-on).\

### Android
Add-on was removed by Mozilla from [add-on store (AMO)](https://addons.mozilla.org).\
Current installations (by custom collection in Firefox Beta/Nightly or Firefox-fork) will stay active, but with no more updates.
Add-on was removed by Mozilla from the [add-on store (AMO)](https://addons.mozilla.org).
[Firefox Beta 122+](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta) and [Firefox Nightly 122+](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.fenix) can still install/sideload a xpi-file (automatic updates) when you enable the debug menu (settings > about > tap Firefox logo 5 times > return to settings).
With Firefox 122+ you can still install/sideload this add-on by [xpi-file of latest release](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bpc-uploads/-/raw/master/bypass_paywalls_clean-latest.xpi) (automatic add-on updates) when you enable the debug menu (settings > about > tap Firefox logo 5 times > return to settings).
Or use the Firefox-fork [Iceraven](https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser) v2.13.2+ (manual updates).\
Or use the Firefox-fork [Iceraven](https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser) v2.13.2+ (manual add-on updates).\
You can install/update Iceraven manually or use the app [FFUpdater](https://github.com/Tobi823/ffupdater)
The experimental Mozac/GeckoView-based browser [SmartCookieWeb-Preview](https://github.com/CookieJarApps/SmartCookieWeb-Preview/releases) can also install/sideload a xpi-file by url (Settings > Advanced settings > Sideload XPI).
There is still an elaborate workaround for regular Firefox (or Beta/fork) though:
* install an old version of Firefox (like v68.11.0 from [archive.mozilla.org](https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/releases/68.11.0/) or [apkmirror.com](https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/mozilla/firefox/firefox-68-11-0-release)); first you have to remove your current Firefox app.\
Specifically for the add-on you can also use Firefox Beta or a Firefox-fork like [Fennec F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid) where you can [set a custom add-on collection](https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extension-support-in-firefox-for-android-nightly) (for amo-listed add-ons); again first install an old version of [Firefox Beta v68.7](https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/mozilla/firefox-beta/firefox-beta-68-7-release) or [Fennec F-droid v68.11.0](https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/mozilla/fennec-f-droid/fennec-f-droid-68-11-0-release)
* download add-on's xpi-file (custom version has by default host permissions for all sites) from [releases](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean/-/releases) and install/open in Firefox (from downloads)
* now you can update Firefox to the latest version
* add-on will stay active & automatically updates to the latest version
Or install a [cloned amo-version](https://www.google.com/search?q=bypass+paywalls+clean+addons.mozilla.org+-lee) in Firefox for Android 120+.
Or switch to [Kiwi browser (Chromium)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiwibrowser.browser) or use the [adblocker filter/userscripts](https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters) (much less supported sites).
