I created borderify extension and I want to install it permanently (not only for current session as in tutorial). How can I achieve this? PS. I’ve already zipped it with web-ext build
Hi @fawis! Your best bet is to side-load the add-on. Here are the instructions for how to install it: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Alternative_distribution_options/Sideloading_add-ons
All I want is private unsigned addon. In firefox it’s such a pain in the ass. I need specific firefox branch (unbranded) in order to use stable release with unsigned addons and all this juggling to make addon permanent. It make me sick. In chromium it’s just one click. No whims. I am serious tired. This is why I still use fx 56.
I tried to follow “Installation using the standard extension folders” but it doesn’t work. Maybe because I use this browser in portable mode (no-remote -profile “abc”)
Just… no… signing
Check “What are my options if I want to install unsigned extensions in Firefox?” at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing#FAQ
tl;dr is you need to grab proper build (Developer Edition or unbranded), then go to about:config
and set xpinstall.signatures.required
to false
