Looking for help here. I created a new Firefox profile and wanted to load the Bypass Paywalls Clean Add-on/Extension from the XPI file. So I did what I’ve always done and got the message displayed above.
Then I went into about:config and changed both xpinstall.whitelist.required and xpinstall.signatures.required to false. Fully exited and restarted the browser but still, no dice.
Anyone know how to fix this?
SOLUTION: go to extensions.blocklist.enabled and turn it to false
From a safety thing, I get it, and I’m pretty sure you have to enable something to allow you to install extensions from files. This isn’t that, this is seperate from that. This is mozilla determining what you are and aren’t allowed to add, and that’s not ok.
Mozilla is legally required to not facilitate installation of extensions like that, that’s why it’s blocked
