I remember that I've already posted that there is no way to install this extension from "Popular Extensions", so I need to download it and install from local file, but in the release version of 0.9.124.0 it is fixed.
Steps to reproduce:
Expected behavior:
To be able to install Bypass Paywall.

Hey, I have the same issue, though it's not an Orion bug. This issue appears to happen because Bypass Paywalls Clean was only available in Firefox Add-ons Market and now it's removed from there. So, the only proper way to install the Extension is to download it from Official Gitlab and install it manually.
Or you can wait till it'll return to Firefox Add-ons Market, which is not likely to happen soon (IMO).
Vlad Actually, you don't have to change link every time. I found a Firefox extension GitLab and the only thing you need to install the extension is to click on the latest .xpi file and then click Add button.
Even though the extension was removed from the Firefox store, it's still signed by it, so you won't have any issues installing it. And IIRC the extension has an auto update feature after manually installing it.
So, I guess you can leave a link for the latest version and don't ever care about it, the extension should auto-update itself if it's an outdated version.
Vlad Can't you simply copy a download link and embed it in the button? For example: Download
Clicking this button will open a context menu "Would you like to add the web extension 'Bypass
Paywalls Clean'?"
The only thing you need is to click "Add" in that menu and that's all, the extension is installed and supports auto-update.
i0mx9kk The link you provided specifies a an extension version. In couple of weeks this link will become invalid which is what happens currently and why installing does not work.
The problem can be solved if bypass paywall team always used a fixed url for the latest version like bpe-latest.xpi. I will make an issue on their website for this.

The extension is not working with Orion (mobile) since some versions.Tried on Bloomberg with Firefox (working) and Orion.
I mean, it is not working on both, desktop and mobile. But worked with Firefox desktop or chrome desktop.
But only for some Pages. With kiwi browser on android, the extension works as on desktop.
