    Will this also affect IceRaven browser, a fork of Firefox mobile? Also, will it allows us to load extensions locally, like the Bypass Paywall Clean extension?

      IceRaven is a close fork, so it will almost certainly apply to IceRaven, too (maybe with a short delay).

      Loading extensions from files, I would not assume to work. Even their current developer workflow requires using an AMO collection.
      Someone could reupload Bypass Paywall Clean to AMO. As I understand from quick research, the DMCA takedown request was not challenged by the dev. Or you can use another paywall removal extension.
