Update_url for Firefox Extension (Registry vs. XPI)

Hi All,

Is it possible to use the “update_url” tag in the REGISTRY (under SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\ExtensionSettings) INSTEAD of putting it in the XPI itself? (under manifest.json)

It works for us just in the manifest.json, and we found documentation that states we can combine it in the registry syntax, but we could not make it work no matter what.

We used something like that in the registry (under ExtensionSettings) but it completely ignores the update_url:

{“name@domain.com”:{“installation_mode”:“force_installed”,“install_url”:“https://extension.dev.local/addon.xpi",“update_url”:"https://extension.dev.local/update.json”}}

Thank you
