My Android browser has an add-on that is no longer accessible online. Can it be exported? (programming.dev)

I didn't keep the .XPI file, unfortunately. Is it possible from a phone's file structure to export or even build this from(/out of?) a currently installed add-on that can no longer be (easily) downloaded?

It should still be in your ff profile folder under extensions/

If there is only the $extensionName.zip just rename to .xpi

Edit: I missed the keyword "Android" in your post. Without root there shouldn't be a way to recover the extension, afaik.

    Does Android give you access to this?

    Total Commander didn't show any extensoion file in none of:

    Android -> data [ -> org.mozilla.firefox ]
        -> media
        -> obb

    these (and I have several: uBlock, clearURLs, Canvas, ...)

    With root, I was able to find my extension in the /data/data folder.
