2. Install the [Android Platform Tools](https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools) (you can use Android studio's [sdk manager](https://developer.android.com/studio/intro/update.html#sdk-manager) or [sdk manager](https://developer.android.com/tools/sdkmanager) command line tools to install android platform tools)
3. Make sure you have adb installed and in your PATH.

2. Run extension's local development environment via `$ ALBY_API_URL="https://api.getalby.com" yarn run dev:firefox`
3. Go to extension's dist directory: `dist/development/firefox`
4. In the unzipped dist directory of the extension run `$ web-ext run -t firefox-android --adb-device <your_device_code> --firefox-apk org.mozilla.fenix`

### Multiple Extensions

It is not recommended to have multiple versions of the extension (development + official) running in the same browser. You will have instances of the extension with the same icon which is confusing, and also leads to a poor webln experience as both extensions will launch a popup. There may also be unexpected bugs due to conflict with the two extensions running at the same time.
