Bitwarden Extension
I have been unable to get the Bitwarden Extension to add to Firefox on my Android devices. I have uploaded 4 images (from Google Pixel 3s xl) showing what I have tried.
Can you assist please with information how to get the correct file?
Chosen solution
Restarted Android Opened Firefox Clicked the symbol (handcuffs) top right and then clicked on the 3 dots at bottom right
Chose Add-ons form the menu Chose Bitwarden from the list and on the small window ‘Add Bitawrden – Free Password Manager? Clicked on the Add button Got message Downloading & verifying Message – Free Password Manager has been added to Firefox Clicked in box to allow in Private browsing & the OK, Got it
Closed & restarted Firefox
At this stage I got the impression that it was working but I will need practise at logging in to understand the process
Thanks for you help

Hi
You will be able to install this add-on from the Add-ons option in the Firefox for Android menu. This support article should help:

You will not be able to install .xpi files in Firefox for Android.
What happens when you try to install the add-on from the Add-ons option in the Firefox for Android menu?
