I'm making automatic installer for special Firefox extensions. I have read couple of articles about that, but none of the described methods are not helped.
What I tried to do:
- Placed .xpi file and unpacked unpacked extension directory in %FF_DIR%\browser\extensions
- Placed .xpi file and unpacked unpacked extension directory in %FF_DIR%\extensions
- Placed unpacked extension directory in another directory and added record in registry (
HKLM\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions, key is extension id and value is full path to unpacked extension)
In all ways unpacked extension directory was:
- Just random name
- ID from install.rdf #1 (
{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}for example) - ID from install.rdf #2 (
[email protected]for example)
And, as i said, all methods don't give me expectable result. Firefox don't show extensions in list and don't show any notification.
How can i solve it? What actual method using in current version of FF?
Target browser is Firefox 41.0.1, system - Windows 7 x64
Thanks!
