To summarize the workflow (because this potentially affects Thunderbird as well, and that's definitely my use case): * Deploy Extension.xpi to an accessible file location (i.e. %PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\extensions, since it's apparently not used anymore) * Install via Extension Policy * Configure via ExtensionSettings, specifying installation_mode and the local install_url to the absolute path to the deployed extension. ** "file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/extensions/<extension>.xpi" (as it looks like Environmental Variables aren't valid with file URIs) * Configure updates via ExtensionUpdate: false
My followup questions are: 1) If ExtensionSettings.installation_mode = force_installed, then specifying Extension.Locked is redundant? 2) With the above scenario, is it necessary to specify ExtensionSettings.install_sources? about:addons, AMO, and local path? (Same question about allowed_types) 3) If ExtensionUpdate:false is specified, then user-installed extensions from AMO will also NOT update? The ideal/previous scenario is that I have extensions that I want to control deployment and versioning, but would also like to allow users to install to their own profile as needed. For example, deploy uBlock, but let's say that a user wants to install a Zoom extension or a theme? In this scenario, I'd prefer to control uBlock, but allow the user's extensions to update automatically. (Hypothetical; I'm much more concerned with TB extensions than FF, but the point stands). On the other hand, <sigh> that's not how Chrome handles it. And I'm coming around to that as well. With the holidays coming up (and extra COVID weight already in place), we can't always have our cake and eat it too. Kris Lou k...@themusiclink.net
