They can drag and drop it on the firefox window and it will install it just fine still. The only change that is happening is auto-installation of extensions found in a specific folder, which is how a lot of crapware extensions find their way into people's firefox installation, but almost no legit extensions get installed this way.
- PhasmaFelis 7y agoThat doesn't appear to be correct. All unsigned extensions will be blocked in all release versions. Without a developer/unbranded/nightly version, you're not allowed to install anything that didn't come from Mozilla's add-ons site. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21418604 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21418604
- ripdog 7y agoYes, but you can sign your xpi via a command line tool (which calls the AMO API) and then distribute that however you want. It can be installed by dragging into about:addons.
