hello, dear to all volunteers, I'd like to know if there is any way to prevent other users from disabling or even removing addons from FF Android. There is one addon called Public Fox to serve the purpose but only for desktop FF. Thanks. Ryan

Hi Ryan

There is no way that I am aware of to do this in the Release version. You may want to try the add-on you mention using this method:

https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2021/01/20/extensions-in-firefox-for-android-update/

It is experimental and may not work, but might be worth trying.

Note that on desktop you can use a policies.json or GPO to disable access to some features. You do not have to use an extension that can easily be circumvented via Troubleshoot Mode.
