how to install not verified on firefox? #376

Closed geextahslex closed 4 months ago

geextahslex commented 4 months ago

Hi, the official firefox blocktube (0.4.0) is lagging behind the release here (0.4.1). I wanted to install it manually but firefox displays that it is not verified, so I can't install it. Is there a way around this or what is the point of releasing the .xpi file?

Thank you :)

If you're using Firefox Nightly, Firefox ESR, or Firefox Developer Edition, setting xpinstall.signatures.required to false in about:config should allow you to install it :)

So if I use the regular firefox release I have to wait until it appers on the update section?

After some research, yes, that appears to be the case. The release channel of Firefox does not honor xpinstall.signatures.required. Because reasons.
