Hi
I have a firefox add-on which I used to sign with a versign issued
certificate. The add on was installing fine till version 38. It used to
show the correct publisher name.
In Firefox 40 the same add-on started giving error on installing saying that the
author is not verified.
On 43 when I try to install, it just says that add-on is corrupt.
I know now Mozilla wants all the add on to be signed through their AMO.
My question will add-on signed with trusted certificates like Verisign
will also now show error? In other words it seems that Firefox will now "not "
install extensions even if they are signed with Verisign certificates? Is this true. Can someone point me to an official mozilla link confirming this behavior. Thanks in advance
If this is the case should I now just stop using my Verisign cerrificate
and sign the extension through AMO?
This is an urgent issue for me. Please help.
Thanks
Correct.
Not 100% sure this is stated officially somewhere. However as an admin reviewer, I can confirm this behavior. We have general information about signing at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Addons/Extension_Signing
Yes.
I want you to thank you for clearing my confusion. Tanks again.
Also I would request Mozilla to publish this info for other as well.
