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?

    Root is not impossible

    What android version? Can you unlock the bootloader?

    All you need is a release zip for the OS with boot.img and init_boot.img

    Patch them in the magisk, app, flash them with fastboot, and you are rooted

    But you might be able to access the internal app storage over USB (MTP)

      I’ve got an S25 and I’d really like to keep the incredible security of Knox; rooting it would irreversibly trigger and disable it. I guess I could poke around with MTP…

    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.
