>MOZ_REQUIRE_SIGNING is a security measure to prevent users from running unsigned (and potentially damaging) extensions, while I understand your use case it is not reasonable to suggest turning it off by default for all Ubuntu users.
If I remember right, it was a consensus that the policy of enforcement of Mozilla policy applies only to builds for Linux built by Mozilla itself, and distros were free to not to enforce Mozilla policy. It may make sense to rename the package back into iceweasel and not to be bound by Mozilla harmful policy. The usage of the name "Firefox" is less valuable than the ability to customize the browser as we wish. It is absolutely humilating that there is a need to get Mozilla approval in order to do on our computers what we want and need to do. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1937343 Title: FireFox 90 unable to install unsigned webextensions Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Ubuntu 18.04 FireFox 90.0+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Steps: - Set xpinstall.signatures.required to FALSE in about:config - Attempt to install UNSIGNED extension from file (Install Add-on From File...) in about:addons Expected: - FireFox warns about unverified add-on but ALLOWS installation.
