"we will require all extensions to be validated and signed by Mozilla starting in Firefox 41"
I hope there is an "opt out" option to this for people who know what they are doing. I understand the reasoning behind it, but what about an extension I write just for myself that I don't wish to share with Mozilla? I don't particularly like having that option taken from me.
Yeah, I know, I could edit the source and work around it -- but based on past attempts to just build firefox, that could be a real pain.
- the8472 11y agoThere will be unbranded builds that provide that option, branded builds will enforce signature verification.
- nocman 11y agoAre you referring to iceweasel? Or are you referring to an unbranded build provided by Mozilla? I honestly don't remember any other browsers that have the Mozilla branding removed, but I haven't really tried to find any.
- lol768 11y agoMozilla will provide these unbranded builds in the en-US locale. See "What are my options if I want to install unsigned extensions in Firefox?" in the FAQ for more info: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Addons/Extension_Signing#FAQ https://wiki.mozilla.org/Addons/Extension_Signing#FAQ
