Troubleshooting Firefox Extension Whitelisting Issues

Add-ons Add-on Support

Our organization’s browser hardening policy blocks all browser extensions by default. To allow specific extensions, we whitelist their extension ID.

I attempted to install the “Chropath” extension from the Firefox web store for my work : ChroPath – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US) , but it was blocked by our policy. To whitelist it, I followed the usual steps:

  1. Checked the manifest.json file — Unfortunately, it didn’t contain the required extension ID or GUID.
  2. Identified the GUID— Using an alternative method, I determined the GUID to be 83efb7a7-cf21-4f94-840a-316f651053ef. Adding this to the whitelist did not resolve the issue.
  3. Tried the Extension ID — I also attempted to whitelist chropath@autonomiq.io, but this approach also failed.

We’ve successfully followed the same process to whitelist other Firefox extensions before, yet this particular extension remains blocked because of organization policy.

Could you help me understand what else I can try to resolve this issue?

Did you include the opening and closing curly brackets?
