Anybody know a way to install a custom .xpi on firefox Android?
Preferable wouldn't require rooting the phone, but curious to hear if there is a way that requires rooting also.

Works only for add-ons that can be found at add-ons.mozilla.com, not for .xpi files :(
I might check it I can just upload my own .xpi though
As long as you're not trying any sketchy xpi, should be fine.
Yes. Install old version of ff from apk mirror like 68 , install xpi from the app, go to website to dl, and then update to latest ff. Add-on may not be enabled but should be active. Works for me for my add-on.
Brilliant! That did work. The addon itself didn't really work, but I had it installed, so I count that as a win :D
I never installed a .xpi on android myself, but from what I found on mozzilla forums it USED to be possible, but that feature is long gone :(
Maybe with a Firefox fork ???
Update: IceRaven (a firefox fork) has added supports .xpi and desktop add-ons a while back (so, sorry for late reply)
You can't. If you're on Nightly you can use collections to install any add-on on AMO, but installing from outside AMO is still “on our radar for the future”.
