I'm getting this same error. Added the collection ID and the name where?
It wasn't at ALL clear to me that this entire process takes place in two DIFFERENT Firefoxes: one on a desktop or laptop install and THEN on your android device!! Maybe I read thru the instructions too fast (real men don't read instructions 😉 ) but they all seem to say "...open Firefox..." without being clear WHICH Firefox they're referring to.
I've now spent close to 3 hours trying to get 3 extensions to work/load properly into Fennec on the Android... Back to Kiwi! "It just works..." 😡
Not in 3 hours of trying I couldn't.
I've just spent another 45 minutes trying to install add-ons via Fennec ONLY. It just doesn't work. I only have access to "approved" extensions.
However, when I go to my custom collection in a desktop browser I have full access to firefox addons (as you described we would)--but I have to first search and add them to the collection from the desktop browser.
When that's completed, THEN I can go to Fennec and navigate to the collection and tap the "+" sign to install them into Fennec.

It does seem an odd decision on their part. There must be some factor(s) that made them go that way?

I mean.. I managed to do it it minutes. What step are you stuck on?
