Bug#928415: firefox-esr: All extensions are disabled

2019-05-04 Thread Hartmut Buhrmester
loaded the Add-ons page in-between. Then, at some point, uBlock origin was enabled again and working as before. So I think, that the setting xpinstall.signatures.required = false is not really needed. Enabling "studies" and using a short update interval of 5 seconds should do the trick.

lxpolkit shows the dialog to enter the root password. I'm sure, that in Debian 8 Jessie, somehow policykit-1-gnome would be installed. Then at least one working authentication agent would be available. But with its dependency on GTK3, it was not the best solution for lightweight desktop environments. Regards, Hartmut Buhrmester
