Issue Details

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Floorp https://floorp.app/en (i used the portable version)
2. Install the extension (not the latest version) : https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bpc_uploads/blob/?file=bypass_paywalls_clean-3.9.1.0.xpi&branch=main
3. Try to manually check for Add-ons updates in Floorp. No updates avalaible.
4. Disable Adguard and check for Add-ons updates. The add-on will be updated to the latest version.

Expected Behavior

Add-on should update like it does in Firefox.

Actual Behavior

I'm facing an issue with the updates from extensions NOT coming from AMO (Firefox store). I'm using the add-on called "Bypass Paywalls clean". I'm able to install it but if I check manually for updates in the add-ons settings, Floorp says there's no update available. If I disable Adguard, it updates fine.

Same issue with Librewolf (other Firefox Fork). I had to add it to the filtered apps manually since this browser is not officially supported by Adguard (but it works fine).

Using Firefox, the add-on is updated to the latest version with no issue with Adguard enabled.

Additional Information

Interesting enough, the same behavior occurs on Android (14). Using Mull browser, the same add-on updates fine. But using Iceraven (other Firefox fork) it doesn't update with Adguard enabled (at least it didn't a few months back). The smartphone is rooted with the adguard certificate module installed.

Maybe a separate issue should be opened.

@Therock99999

Sorry for a huge delay, could you please install the latest Nightly build.

[Therock99999]

Hello,

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with the latest nightly either.

I tried with Floorp v11.21.0 and used the extension version 3.9.5.1 (it should have updated to 3.9.6.0) (here is the link to the addon).

With Firefox 133.0.3 it updates fine.

@Therock99999 could you please add this domain gitflic.ru to HTTPS exclusions (Settings -> Network -> HTTPS Filtering Exclusions -> "+" Add gitflic.ru and Save).

It works, thanks :)

I'm going to open this question because there's probably a bug here and we're going to figure out what it is. The solution suggested above is temporary, we are glad it helped. Thank you!

@Therock99999 Hi!
It seems that the Floorp browser is only available on the desktop.
Could you please provide the name of the problematic browser you are using on Android?

[Therock99999]

Hi, it's Iceraven.

I did some testing. (I'm using Adguard in root mode with the certificate module on Android).

With Adguard disabled:

1. install Iceraven
2. open the app and install the extension (not latest version)
3. kill the app and relaunch it
4. the extension updates to the latest version

With Adguard enabled, I'm unable to update to the latest version despite doing the steps above.
