Chrome allows permanent side loading, and without signing, if one enables dev mode from extensions page.
Firefox requires uploading to Mozilla for signing to side load permanently or host with them. Though you can self host once signed.
IME Firefox add-ons are approved almost instantly if your addon is not minified or downloading code to execute outside the package. Chrome approvals are always days.
- Hackbraten 4y ago> Firefox requires uploading to Mozilla for signing to side load permanently Are you sure? I’ve been sideloading extensions, signed or not, into /usr/lib/firefox/browser/extensions/ and they’ve been working fine.
- PurpleRamen 4y agoWhen was the last time you installed a new extension that way?
- Hackbraten 4y agoLast time was a few weeks ago [0]. I’m also maintaining a couple AUR packages with Firefox extensions myself. They all use the same method for persistence. I’m wondering what kind of issues people are experiencing. Haven’t heard of any myself.
