Difficulty Installing Custom Add-On from File on Firefox Nightly Mobile
I am writing to seek assistance regarding a challenge I have encountered while attempting to install a custom add-on from a file.
I have followed the steps to enable the debug menu on Firefox Nightly, and I have also successfully downloaded the custom add-on in XPI format to my mobile device. However, upon navigating to the Add-ons settings, I am unable to locate the option to install the add-on from a file.
I have reviewed the official documentation and community forums for guidance, but I have not found a solution specific to my situation.
Could you kindly provide detailed instructions on how to install a custom add-on from a file on Firefox Nightly for Android? If there have been any recent changes or updates in this regard, I would greatly appreciate any information or resources you could share. Thank you for your time and assistance. I value the work Mozilla does to enhance the Firefox experience and am eager to resolve this matter.
Best regards, Saad

I think that you are missing a step in the process - you will need to publish the add-on to https://addons.mozilla.org/ to be add it to an add-on collection.
