Due to network changes, I finally had to upgrade my Android. It appears that is is no longer possible to install *file-backups* on FF for Android. When you search for *file-backups* in the repository, FF shows you the extension, but won't let you install. It offers you instead a chance to look at a list of extensions that are available for FF for Android. And, if you try to install a downloaded file, Android doesn't recognize the xpi file.
I'm wondering if there is some internal change that could be done to File-backups that would tell Mozilla that it's ok for use on Android? I'm guessing that Android added a new internal flag of some sort. In general, the whole Android arena has become more restricted. As far as I could tell, you can't install *any* extensions on Chrome for Android, and the two Chromium-based browsers I tried also provided no backdoor for installing BJ's tiddler-saver extension. Also, on Chrome, when using the download saver, it mangles the *entire* file name now, adding on prefix text. Thanks!
