Hi,
We were self-distributing our add-on as part of our application Software.
Users installing our software will get our Firefox add-on automatically loaded in Firefox based on Windows registry until Firefox 73.
In Windows Registry, we will add the following information and our add-on will be automatically installed in Firefox.
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions
Key Name | Key Type | Key Value |
---|---|---|
[ADD_ON_ID] | REG_SZ | [LOCATION_OF_XPI_FILE] |
However from Firefox 74, our add-on is not getting installed automatically.
We have also listed our add-on in AMO after the approval from Firefox for public use, but the add-on is still not installing automatically.
Is there any workaround/alternative way for automatically installing the add-on(or showing the “Add Extension” Popup) during our application install?
Thanks & Regards,
Manoj Kumar
