I have uploaded an extension for Firefox but when I go to the extension page it says that the extension is not available for my platform. I am using Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu (v125.0.2). I have tried tinkering with “applications” in the manifest - first the property was not included in the manifest at all, then I added applications.gecko.strict_min_version=68.0 and strict_max_version=125.* but neither worked.
Here is the page for my extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5a9438461f0343d0b547/
Can anybody give any hint what needs to be done to make Firefox on Ubuntu see this extension?
Don’t use strict_max_version, only set strict_min_version and only use version that you have tested, for example Firefox ESR 128 is the latest supported version.
Regarding the “extension is not available for my platform” message - this applies only to Desktop VS Android platform, and it usually means that the page you’ve visited has a platform specific URL, so it’s meant to be displayed on that platform.
For example:
// this one points to "Android" platform
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/auto_highlight/
// this one to "Desktop"
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto_highlight/
So if you open the link with a wrong platform, you’ll get this:
