This does not work #132

Closed rebop closed 2 years ago

rebop commented 2 years ago

First, I download Utils_extensions_only.zip. I extract and it creates a folder named utils_extensions_only and inside that a folder named Utils. You do not specify whether to put the Utils FOLDER into the chrome folder in my profile OR the contents of the Utils folder. I tried both. I even tried putting the extracted utils_extensions_only unzipped folder in chrome. And after that clearing the startup cache each time and restating Firefox.

I already had (have) a chrome folder with lots of things I use.

I then tried dragging the xpi to Extensions and also installing extension from file. BOTH show the xpi as being corrupt.

What is wrong?

Thanks.

it creates a folder named utils_extensions_only

It was not instructed to create that folder. You can see the process being executed in the video linked in the instructions. The first screenshot in main page also hints about folders structure in chrome folder.

Final structure in your profile folder must be

Not forgetting about files that must be placed in Firefox installation directory.

If you already use chrome folder for userChrome.css and things like that, don't worry it doesn't interfere.

Thanks, but still confused. i have done just that and it does not work. Clainms the xpi is corrupted. and yes, I have cleared the startup cache.

This is what I have. You can see the path.

I do not understand what you mean here: "Not forgetting about files that must be placed in Firefox installation directory."

Ahhh, I see I missed a step. Let me try again. Right back.

Got it to work. I had missed a step. and the program files needed to go in the App/Firefox64 folder. Tricky. Now I can test the extension.

Thanks.
