HOW TO EXPAND LIST OF SUPPORTED ADDONS IN ANDROID FIREFOX

HOW TO EXPAND LIST OF SUPPORTED ADDONS IN ANDROID FIREFOX

Not long ago i’ve already mentioned about privacy-hardened [Mull browser] . Very nice Android browser, but have one serious downside: limited amount of supported addons. Yes, i like desktop convenience on the go! To enable additional addons in mobile Firefox browser you’ll need to sideload custom addon collection tied to mozilla account. It’s astonishing fact how they like to implement overcomplicated stuff! To create your own collection you’ll need Firefox account, but i’ll not bother to spent time on such dumb efforts.

NORTON COMMANDER COLOR SCHEME FOR FAR MANAGER

FAR Manger is orthodox file manager written in C++. I am using it as file management tool from early childhood. Application is impressively fast in terms of speed due to it’s text-based nature and highly optimized routines. File operations like copy and move are waaaay faster than default windows explorer can deliver. Advanced batch processing and automation tools make file management a breath.

Software was dismissed after purchase immediately.
