Topic: Extensions on firefox with Smart phones [Guide] (Read 188 times)
It is not a good idea to use a smartphone with an extension to use bitcointalk, especially if your crypto wallet is logged in there. Also i think the developer of that extension is not online anymore so if anything bad happens you will have no one to blame or the owner will not be able to provide you with any support.
this is a developer version of Mozilla Firefox which is more open sourced than the regular Firefox browser there by giving you less restrictions than in the regular version of which one of them is being able to customize your addons.
Firefox Niightly version is not more open source than regular firefox browser, and you are getting more chances of having much more bugs and unstable behavior, this is like test version.You are also going to get updates more often and that can get annoying sometimes, so I would just stick with regular Firefox browser instead, or at least disable automatic updates.
As much as this is a new development for me I consider using yandex for my wallet transactions. Started using it years ago with my metamask, it did help me with my navigation on BrightID project.
I actually noticed that I function with it better than others. Thanks for the heads-up on Firefox anyways

Sometimes I can't edit or copy-paste. Whenever I am trying to tap and hold to, copy some content, it would immediately take me to another tab. In short, the window would change, as in teleport me. The only way to fix this, is to close the browser entirely and reopening. Weird glitch...
Mises is indeed buggy, although what you said doesn't happen to me, I have different set, their mises extension keeps popping up each time on app re-open even after removing it in setting, if I don't disable and try to connect to cosmos dapp, mises extension would pop-up instead of keplr.
I have moved to mask browser these days, I like it's ui better. Drawback being it doesn't support Firefox extensions, for ff extensions I use Lemur (which has also become bit buggy lately but for Firefox extensions I still use it).
Nice guide but I have been using another extension already like keplr browser and mises. Been using these two for a long time to access some of my wallets on other coins and tokens ectension supported crypto.
Hows your experience with this one? Any feedback, security or level of difficulty on usage? Thanks for the share OP.

Hey man, I also have been using mises for many months. So smooth and vast collection of crypto wallets and web3 apps. A crypto friendly browser indeed.
BTW, I don't know if you have encountered any bugs in mises but I have. Sometimes I can't edit or copy-paste. Whenever I am trying to tap and hold to, copy some content, it would immediately take me to another tab. In short, the window would change, as in teleport me.

Btw, for the fun of it will try to see if it's possible to run them on the more popular browser chrome 
It is simply not possible because Google will never enable extension features on Android but we can install every extension from the Chrome web store on many popular browsers for example Kiwi which has a similar UI to chrome and uses the same platform as Choronary.

Remember seeing something similar to this but on a different browser....
But this is quite good and very detailed walkthrough, but unfortunately I haven't used Mozilla Firefox in a long time on mobile but for this will certainly give it a shot for the sake of having access to the Bpip plugin on all my devices

A serious question 
Do you use that smart phone to store your bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and your exchange account?
If you do this, that device stores your money and seriously you should not use any extension and unnecessary applications on it. Security wise and it is for sake of your money safety.
If you have a smart phone just for Internet exploration and don't use it for money-related activities like I mention above, it's okay to play around with extensions.
Thanks a lot for spotting this out tranthidung. However a great percentage of forum members don't store their main hodlings and assets on mobile wallets due to the fact that it is generally unsafe. Also,most of the forum extensions are open source so you can actually check for your safety before applying them.Do you use that smart phone to store your bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and your exchange account?

I see that you put a lot of effort into creating this thread which is indeed detailed and helpful but we already have a similar thread BPIP extension using method in Mobile Browser that explain the same context and the only difference is the browser used in it, so do we need one more?
But it can be helpful for beginners so I expect it to be here in this section and would appreciate if you keep it updated.
jrrsparkles your request had been in the thread even before your reply pls recheck.But it can be helpful for beginners so I expect it to be here in this section and would appreciate if you keep it updated.
Secondly Mozilla Firefox is one of the most popular browsers world wide so it has a lot of users and obviously many are present on this forum. I will definitely update the thread once I am aware of any tweaks for other popular browsers like Chrome Tor and brave.
