Duplicate addon id on uploading an xpi file

Hi,

Greetings!

I am uploading an addon xpi file, but it is not allowing me stating that “Duplicate add on id found”.
I have no idea on previous id.
How can i get the signed xpi file which is uploaded by someone previously having the same id?

Are you trying to upload an update to an existing extension?
If not, you seem to have an ID set in your manifest.json.

Hi,

I am not trying to update the existing extension.

I simply have an xpi file alone, when i tried to upload it, it shows duplicate add on id exists.

How to get the xpi file which is signed earlier by someone.

You can’t necessarily get the other extension’s signed XPI, unless they published the extension or publicly distribute the signed XPI.

The alternative, as I said, is to change the ID that is inside the extension.

With help of about:debugging i got extension id and internal uuid.

My purpose is, i am automating my application which needs my extension to be added through firefox profile. As it is not signed, i am blocking from add extension popup all the time.

Can you help me here.

Help required in handling extension through firefox profile.
