Because I prefer to archive all software that I install, I download the

disable my Internet connection prior to doing the installation in order
to prevent extraneous changes to my system (e.g., resynchronization of
my clock, downloading of E-mail).
Today, I tried to install the 1.3.5 update to AdBlock Plus. It failed
to install, with the message:
SeaMonkey could not install the file at
file:///D:/downloads/software/.......
because: Signing could not be verified.

When I retried the installation with my Internet connection enabled, it
worked without any problems.
How can I install extensions and other add-ons without an Internet
connection?
Three days ago, I cross-posted this here and to mozilla.dev.extensions
with Followup-to set to the latter. I received no replies. This time,
I'm not cross-posting this. Can anyone help me?
Could this

help ?
This is described as a "dirty solution". It is indeed too dirty for me. \
or this:

I will try suppressing OCSP-checking the next time I install an
extension update.
However, the Ad-ons Manager should recognize that the .xpi file is local
and not from the Internet and that there is no Internet connection. In
that case, the Ad-ons Manager should bypass signature verification.
I was happy to know about a point I was ignoring
by the way what is the advantage of being off Internet while installing
an extension (or whatever piece of software) that is of interest only if
being on-line ?
if it should be compromised isn't it better to have it verified even if
on-line is needed ?
I am logging changes to my Windows registry and to the files on my
C-drive. I don't want my clock to synchronize to external time servers,
my E-mail client to download messages, etc, all of which would introduce
extraneous changes to the log.
I generally download software from sources that I trust. If I download
from a new source, I check the downloaded file with TWO different
anti-virus applications, after updating their virus databases.
thank you for explaining
you seem to be very organized
I do thing differently, so there is no discussion to have
for example I synchronize time on the ntp servers pool with ntpd from
meinberg
so I can synchronize files on a local network, and even the pc of my
daughter with a foolish clock remains synchronized
all points could be commented except taking the software directly from
the producer.
