When I use the addon on facebook's mobile homepage Firefox Android it

  1. doesn't filter group suggestions
  2. seems to filter way too much - basically everything that is not a post on someone's personal profile - every fan-sites you follow our group posts seem to be generally blocked which might be what results in the following issue:
  3. after every other post it takes a few seconds to load a few new posts, laggy experience.

So I don't know if there is interest in making this work on mobile, but it would certainly be appreciated. Thanks for the addon (working great on desktop) either way.

how did you install the plugin to Firefox on Android?

The "standard" method to do it is to use Firefox Nightly. It is a little bit hidden, but actually fairly straight forward to activate. You just have to set a personal list of add-ons that you created beforehand. This feature is actually already available since September, mainly for add-on developers to optimize their add-ons for Firefox Android.
Custom add-on list support is also available in stable forks of the latest versions of Firefox for Android (e.g. Fennec f-droid and Iceraven, both available via github or the f-droid app store with auto-updates).

I used to test this for the classic Facebook and it was working. I haven't tried with the new FB5 yet.

@R0M4N0F5K7 Do you know the problem? It should be easy to fix. Facebook was not trying too hard to obfuscate stuff on mobile version.
