Update Firefox installation instructions?
Closed this issue · 3 comments
The Firefox installation instructions currently say:
Make sure your version of Firefox supports web extensions. The installation is the same as Manual installation of Chrome.
The Chrome instructions, in turn, say:
Go to release page, find chrome.zip file, download and unpack it.
I'm currently running Firefox 57. I've tried unzipping the chrome.zip
file. I then went to Firefox's Addons Manager screen and selected "Install Addon from File". If I select the chrome.zip
file directly, or select the unpacked manifest.json
file, Firefox says "This addon could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt". I also tried copying the unpacked folder to my profile's extensions
folder and restarting Firefox, with no success.
I'd appreciate updated instructions for installing the addon in Firefox.
@markerikson I find this link:

It seems that you should go to about:debugging
instead of about:addons
. I'll update README for Firefox installation, thanks!
Thanks. That seems to have gotten it to load and seem to work, although about:debugging
does show this warning:
Reading manifest: Error processing options_page: An unexpected property was found in the WebExtension manifest.
