"What are my options if I want to install unsigned extensions in Firefox?
The Developer Edition and Nightly versions of Firefox will have a setting to disable signature checks. There will also be special unbranded versions of Release and Beta that will have this setting, so that add-on developers can work on their add-ons without having to sign every build."
- Sir_Cmpwn 11y agoAh, nice. Even so, I still have issues with this: - Special version of the software - Can't run my own version of AMO
- reubenmorais 11y ago> - Can't run my own version of AMO You can, AMO is open source: https://github.com/mozilla/olympia https://github.com/mozilla/olympia Run your own instance and make your own builds of Firefox that point to it and you're good.
- Sir_Cmpwn 11y ago>make your own builds of Firefox Yeah, let me just get all of the potential users of my AMO alternative to compile a custom version of Firefox for it
- reubenmorais 11y agoIf you want to run a custom AMO I'm assuming you're in a corporate environment or something like that where you can control what browser gets installed on people's machines. https://addons.mozilla.org https://addons.mozilla.org is an integral part of Firefox, if you set it up with an alternative you're effectively making your own fork.
- Sir_Cmpwn 11y agoIt's not an integral part of Firefox, though. You can install add-ons without it by just clicking a link on any page that leads to an XPI, same as how AMO behaves. And no, I'm not in a corporate environment. I'm talking about decentralization.
