Installation on Android

Currently, mobile Browsers do not really support extensions as they do for their desktop counterparts. To run BZCookieBear on your phone you need to install Firefox first, and enable a custom plugin collection.

How To

1. Install Firefox Nightly

Install Firefox Nightly on you Android device

2. Enable Developer Menu

Enable the developer Menu: Go to Settings -> About Firefox Nightly -> Tap the Firefox logo five times

3. Activating The Custom Addon Collection

Navigate back to the Settings page and click on the menu entry Custom Add-on collection. Enter the following details into the form:

Collection Owner (User ID): 16930263

Collection Name: CookieBear

Click ok.

Now you need to install the addon by navigating clicking the three dots on the main menu in the navigation bar. Then go to Add-ons and activate it. Accept all subsequent popups.

That's it - have fun using BZCookieBear on you Android device.

API

The extension communicates with BZCookieBakery which distributes the random account credentials used to authenticate.
