Hi Mike, Thanks so much for the reply.
Installing as an XPI without unzipping and renaming to the extension ID worked. No idea why the unzipped ones failed - I tried a few different methods and nothing worked. I even had strange behaviours where sometimes the extension would work on first boot of Firefox, or work for a few seconds, then fail verification and not work again. In answer to your questions, I am using default prefs, and I couldn’t find any related errors in the browser console. But it seems sorted now - the unzipped XPIs work fine. Thanks again, Tristan. > On 17 Apr 2017, at 11:10 PM, Kaply Consulting <[email protected]> wrote: > > I just checked this and it's working for me. > > You said: > > > via a config file and it seems to be set correctly when I check in > > about:config. > > Can you be more specific?
