It will work in FF43 if you disable signature checking by going to about:config and setting the xpinstall.signatures.required preference to false.
But this capability will be removed from FF44. Is there any possible way for you to publish your update in order to get it signed? It appears that the original code was released under the MPL1.1 (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/1.1/) license. The terms there seem to be GPL-like, so you should be able to release your modified version (although probably not as a new revision to the original without cooperation from John Marshall.) -- David On Thursday, December 3, 2015 at 8:52:32 AM UTC-5, Zinyth wrote: > > Thank you, Fess google bookmark Extension is quite good.
