Firefox for Android doesn't provide sidebars so I can't manage the added pages. Also, the panel is displayed in a standalone page and is extremely small. Please make it fill the whole screen on Android.
Thanks!

@DDoSolitary Hi
Glad to meet you here and here are some tips for developer:

  • If you are to fit Android use, best ui build is full responsive design tough requires complete rewrite.
  • use background service carefully, especially for such a addon with regular tasks cos you shouldn't dry out battery. (tough from this circumstances I don't think Android support is a good idea.)
  • ui elements should be redesigned, especially on size and layout.

Thanks for reporting, this addon isn't designed to be Android compatible. I'm not sure why the addons website is allowing it to be installed.

The UI would need a complete rethink, since there's no sidebar available.

@sneakypete81 The reason is pretty simple: it is Firefox intended design. Only specific APIs used will be marked compatible. Otherwise it will be available on Android.

Raised at mozilla/addons#12293.

@Riajyuu However, this extension uses sidebar, which doesn't seem to be available on Android. Why is it still marked compatible?

The add-on is marked as incompatible with Android. The problem is with the addons.mozilla.org website - see mozilla/addons#12293.
