Cannot install any extensions on Firefox #5

Closed rollsicecream closed 4 months ago

Hello,

I actually noticed after installing Firefox (from Fedora's repo, not Flathub/Flatpak) that I cannot install any extensions whatsoever. I noticed then that Brace blocked installations of all extensions apart from allowed ones like NoScript and Enhanced-h264ify.

Furthermore, I think that could be linked to the "ExtensionsSettings" policies visible from line 31 to 36 in :

https://github.com/divestedcg/Brace/blob/master/brace/usr/lib/firefox/distribution/policies.json

Thank you for fixing that.

This is fully intended.

Extensions are a hazard to users.

You can either remove those lines from your install or if they are well reputable, actually useful, and open-source they can be added.

That's totally fair!
