Anyone Explain How Can i Install This Addon Firefox Stable

[cakircan-cakir]

I can only install the plugin from the debug menu. When I load it normally, it says the plugin is corrupt. When I load it from the debug menu and restart firefox, the plug-in is deleted. How can I install it normally?

As far as I know, you can't permanently install temporary add-ons on Firefox Stable, only on Nightly or Developer Edition. However, I'm getting the same error even in Firefox Nightly. I tried adding an id key to the manifest but still get the same error.

(This is the error message: "[add-on] could not be installed because Nightly cannot modify the needed file")

The developer needs to publish this plugin in the store so we can install it easily

Yes you can, even if the developer doesn't publish the addon in the firefox store for everyone. It's really easy, follow these steps:

1. Download source and extension (from Releases)
2. Go to the developer page inside addons ff store
3. Upload a "new addon". In this case, select the option that the addon will be only for you (private, non-public, so it can be activated instantly)
4. You have to upload the extension and its code-source
5. That's all! You'll receive a mail confirmation with your addon in *.xpi and fully installable (permanent). You also can install it from your developer profile > addon page > versions.

Don't forget to check for new releases and update your extension to keep it update. It's all!

It's not working anymore because Firefox doesn't support manifest v3:
Error: "Manifest V3 is currently not supported for upload"

Any workaround?

@w4po Meanwhile, you can download and use the version 1.7.8, as it's the latest version supported by Firefox. Check if that version meets your necessities.

Thanks for the guide! Any ideas why this can't be available on Firefox addon store like it is on Chrome?

We're waiting for Mozilla to add support for manifest v3:

I got it to run by making the following change in the manifest, and recompiling. But it doesn't actually work?
