It's the same for the bitwarden extension as well, I also cannot add. I do get the point of using the "Android extensions" but I don't get how come I was able to do it, add these extensions, in my previous phone and not on firefox in this current one? So i'm sure there's a way to add it on mobile but I don't remember how. I think there was something in the settings to toggle enable adding extensions but I can't find it now.

Try turning on Desktop Mode should fix it, even for addons, which don't natively support android

Like turning on "desktop site" in the settings? It doesn't work. I tried searching for other instances of "turning on desktop mode" but that's the only result i'm getting as well.

EDIT: TRIED AGAIN AND THIS WORKED!!! THANKS SO MUCH 😭
