Impossible to install the modules that are hosted outside of AMO

I can't install any add-on that is hosted outside of AMO, in Firefox for Android 40.0.3, nor in Firefox Beta for Android 41.

What I think should happen: I have download the file as signed (it records to SD card), then open it with Firefox and Firefox should ask me if I want to install this module.

What is really happening: an add-on is downloaded, but when I open it is file as with Firefox - nothing happens. Firefox comes to shows me a blank screen (see the screenshot).

My friend has this problem too.

Looks like a regression bug (because I could install add-ons hosted out of AMO without any problems in previous versions), but I'm not entirely sure.

So my question is: should I file a bug on Bugzilla or is it possible to install the modules hosted outside of AMO to Firefox for Android and it's just me something wrong?

My phone has Android v2.3.5.

UPDATE: apparently, I can not install the modules of local files, but can do some some sites. My module (I have problem with) is hosted on Github, and I can't install it for whatever reason.

Update 2: it seems that modules can be installed from Github if she is not just a file (because Github changed Content-Disposition of at least some types of raw file of 'inline' to 'attachment'), but a binary attachment to a "news release".

Apparently, I found a work around for this problem, so that this issue does not require a response more.

    It's strange because your Firefox does not seem to be concealment of his identity on this site.

    Impossible to install the Safari extensions; error message

    Hello

    Make sure that OS X and Safari are up-to-date.

    Open system preferences > App Store, then click on: check now

    Your profile says your Mac works v10.11.1. The v10.11.5 update is available. This is maybe the reason why you can not install the Safari extensions.

    «We are implementing a new extension API, called WebExtensions...» »

    The infrastructure of the current extensions will be gone and with it will have the advantage of current extensibility that Firefox had more Chrome and Opera. Kinda like the rating "fascism" for "communism".

    So at the end of next year we can be moaning about something much bigger than the current "signature" minor schism or "bump in the road."

    Hello

    Please check if a green icon is added to the left of the icon in the Web site address bar after clicking on Add to Firefox. If it appears, click it, check the message and select the desired action.

    Another reason could be that the extension could block Javascript or other features of the site.

  • Tecra A5: Impossible to install the Ethernet Lan driver

    Hey,.
    A mate of mine got a Toshiba Tecra A5 and background they screwed with one of the many MSN virus - in any case, they decided to re - install windows, fine, but then downloaded the wrong driver for the network card and screwed the Mediaboot of the laptop.

    Managed to re - install again, but we cannot find any ethernet network drivers for the A5 model on the net that are recognized by the system.

    I had a direct driver from the site of Toshiba UK
    here - I extracted without problems - tried reinstalling the driver through the Device Manager and it has taken in the right direction, but does not recognize the files in the extraction point, so we don't always have our network driver.
    Don't know where to go from here, all A5 drivers that I tried to install are not recognized.

    Laptop is running XP/SP2 - model no: PTA50E-02J009EN - don't know if that helps you.

    Thanks for any help in advance, Järv

    Hello

    I can t believe that you can not install the LAN driver. You need to download the driver from this page of Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    Then extract the files in the folder. Enter in the Device Manager, then choose the network card. Right click and install/update the driver. The source of the driver is the place where you extracted the files.

    PS: The Tecra A5 use Lan I / F chip Marvell 88E8036 (on board)
    You can also visit the marvel Web site and try to install this driver.

  • Help - why the songs that are not on my iPhone appearing in my list of app music albums/songs?

    I have over 500 GB of music on my Mac, so I create a playlist for the songs I want to sync my iPhone. Yet when I look at my phone, there are many songs that are not in sync would be playlist. They cannot be read unless the phone is connected to my wifi at home, but I don't want them cluttering up my phone and makes it almost impossible to find the tracks I want to listen to.

    I hate the new music app. For the first time since I converted to Apple 10 years ago, I wonder if I can be forced away because it's so horrible. Why ruin a great product with terrible software? Anyway, if anyone can help me to fix this serious bug, I would be very grateful.

    If you go to the library of the screen and press the red text just below the icons of the album/playlist (where you select whether you want the screen to show the view of the artist/Album/songs downstairs there is a toggle to only show that downloaded music.) If you enable this, then only the songs that are actually ON your iPhone will be in BLACK characters. The rest of your music library to iCloud either won't display at all or be grey. Now - if you have a few streaming, you can see more songs, because the songs that are heard are cached in the memory of the iPhone box and supposedly deleted automatically when it fills up (but not user accessible unless you use some third-party programs).

    What you can do - so they need WiFi or data cell-, it's make a playlist in iTunes that you want on your iPhone. Then (assuming that Apple music and iCloud music library are running on both), you can go to the playlist and press the small cloud/down arrow icon and download these tracks on your iPhone. Then, you can play these songs without access to wifi or cell phone.

    This is the information from Microsoft about this:

    "Cleaning Windows Update option is available only when the Disk Cleanup Wizard detects the updates of Windows you don't need on the computer."

    This is only for Windows 7 and above.

    Loy Vista doesn't have this option of cleaning disc for Windows Updates and in all probability that Microsoft will not implement what Vista is now in Extended Support.
