>This is currently impossible on Firefox as they forget extension loaded from local files to be removed after. The force everyone who wants to run their own code on their own machine persistently to file for a developer code signing certificate, essentially copying Apple's approach to marketplace management. My distro's firefox package loads extensions I zip'd and placed in /usr/lib64/firefox/browser/extensions , probably because it's compiled with `--with-unsigned-addon-scopes=app --allow-addon-sideload` FOSS authors are catching on to all the tricks that Windows etc closed source authors have been doing - locking down their software, phoning home with telemetry, bundling in closed-source components with non-free licenses and what not. Distro maintainers are the last line of defence against this shit. Don't use upstream binaries.
