### Installation
[Download and install the latest version](https://bitbucket.org/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean/downloads)
Here you can also find a limited permissions version (custom sites will not be working though).
Install add-on by downloading xpi-file.
On Android this add-on only works with Firefox 68 (Fennec); Firefox 79 (Fenix) only supports 9 add-ons (for now).
So don't update to Firefox 79 or use F-droid's [Fennec-release](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/)

_*free articles only._
### Sites with limited number of free articles
The free article limit can normally be bypassed by removing cookies for the site.*
1. Install the add-on [Cookie Remover](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-remover/).
2. When coming across a paywall click the cookie icon to remove the cookies then refresh the page.
If removing the cookies works you can also add the site as a custom site.
_*May not always succeed_
### New site requests
You can submit a request for a new website [here](https://bitbucket.org/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean/issues?status=new&status=open).
Please read the following instructions and share your results for a quicker process.
Remember to check the [previous requests](https://bitbucket.org/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean/issues) before asking for a new website.
1. Visit an article on the site you want to bypass the paywall for and copy the article title.
2. Open up a new incognito window (Ctrl+Shift+P) and paste the article title into Google.
3. Click on the same article from the Google search results page. Or you can:
4. Disable javascript on the website by clicking the button right icon </> on the uBlock Origin panel.
5. Refresh the page.
### Add custom site
Add your own custom site (also for testing).
Check 'Options'-link in popup-menu and go to custom sites.
Make sure the (new) site is checked under Options.
By default sites' cookies/local storage are removed after page loads (to bypass article limit).
Also you can enable Googlebot user-agent or disable Javascript for (sub)domain(s)/external sources.
### Troubleshooting
* This add-on works best alongside the adblocker [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/).
* If a site doesn't work try turning off uBlock and refreshing.
* Make sure the (new) site is checked under Options.
* You will be logged out for most of the sites you have checked.
* If you live in the EU, also consider installing the extension [I don't care about cookies](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/i-dont-care-about-cookies) in order to remove cookie warnings.
### Changelog-releases
* Visit the [changelog page](https://bitbucket.org/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean/src/master/changelog.txt).
* Or check the [commits](https://bitbucket.org/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean/commits).
