Install the extension in Firefox 41 silently

I do an automatic installer for special extensions for Firefox. I read two articles on this subject, but none of the methods described are not being helped.
What I tried to do:

- Placed .xpi file and unpacked unpacked extension directory in %FF_DIR%\browser\extensions
- Placed .xpi file and unpacked unpacked extension directory in %FF_DIR%\extensions
- Placed unpacked extension directory in another directory and added record in registry (`HKLM\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions`, key is extension id and value is full path to unpacked extension)

In all its forms, unzipped directory extension name was:

- Random name
- ID from install.rdf #1 (`{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}` for example)
- ID from install.rdf #2 (`[email protected]` for example)

And, as I said, all methods do not give me predictable results. Firefox does not show the extensions in the list and show no notification.
How can I solve it? What actual method using the current version of FF?
The target browser is Firefox 41, Windows 7 x 64 - system
Thank you!

See also:

{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384} is the GUID of Firefox and not the ID of the extension, so make sure you use the ID of the extension under Description > id and not the "id" under "targetApplication" surround a GUID with braces and add the as file extension.

  • Register to install the extension for FireFox 24

    Hi, I want to automatically deploy a FireFox extension to a box via the Windows registry. Before 23 of FireFox, I use the steps in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Adding_Extensions_using_the_Windows_Registry to add an extension.

    I have deploy the extension to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\extensions and create a record to point to it.

    It worked well enough until the 24th of FireFox.

    In Firefox, it seems that it does not recognize the extension deployed in this way. When I open FireFox, click on Extensions, I don't see anything.

    Do you know if there any step change in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Adding_Extensions_using_the_Windows_Registry for FireFox 24?

  • I can't install the Flash for Firefox plugin

    I can't install the plugin for Firefox (Firefox version 1.5.0). Flash I tried to install the latest version 9.0.16.0 to the Adobe Download Center. There is no error messages or warnings during installation.
    The Flash for IE plugin works very well.

    I have all tried, uninstall the pre-installed version (7), re - install FireFox, uninstall all plugins, download and install everything again... still the same problem.

    Hello

    I don't think that it has something to do with the software pre-installed Toshiba.
    I recommend the forum of firefox or flash installation support.

    PS: I read on the net that it is possible that flash player has been placed in the right folder and links shows on the wrong file. Someone has checked and changed manually.
    Try a bit of google.

  • Action menu is empty; "You have not installed the extensions.

    Like many others, share my Menu is empty after the upgrade to El Capitan. By running the recommended command here has no effect. In the system preferences panel, the only options on the left are all and share Menu. Share menu 'not allowed' in gray below. Everything indicates "you have not installed the extensions.

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    Step 1

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

    Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

    While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

    Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

    After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

    * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

    Step 2

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • The Sims 2 is listed as not compatible with Windows 7, but expansion is. It will be the game does work if I install the extension?

    In the Windows 7 Compatibility Center it is said that the Sims 2 is not compatible with Windows 7. However, it is said that an extension kit is compatible. This means that it will work if I install the extension?

    The extension of watermark may not work for support of Adobe removed for Flash panels in 2014 CC. A lot of extensions for older versions of Photoshop used an Adobe configurator that generated Flash panels for extensions.  Some extensions don't like Mini Bridge, Adobe Exchange will be available you can install a Kuler extension for 2014 CC.  If the version is Adobe Photoshop Version CC: 14.2.1 (14.2.1 20140207.r.570 2014/02 / 07:23:00:00) x 64 extension the watermark should work I think and there will be a bridge ini, Kuler and Adobe Exchange extention.

  • Install the Extension with Davide Barranca Installation Script

    Davide Barranca has created a javascript that circumvents Adobe Extension Manager and allows you to create a script that installs extensions, scripts, ect. GO HERE for her.

    My question is, I have two panels I want to install with a script. Davide script lets only a Panel must be installed with the script. Is there a way to have an another javascript executed the first extension of js script and then run the second script extension, so two install scripts are installed with a js script.

    Thanks in advance for your help - Sam

    Hi Sam,

    to work around the problem, you can duplicate the installer.jsx/ASSETS folder and let the first installer.jsx call the second installer after he is done with the first round table, something like:

    $.evalFile(File($.fileName).path + "/installer2.jsx");
    

    This would basically follow the two installation programs (not very elegant I know!)

    In addition, you can take a look at the beautiful project of Max Penson here: Zxp Installer which is basically its own version native and open source Adobe Extension Manager (incorporation of the Adobe ExManCmd command line utility that has not been abandoned as the GUI version).

    For those living in a cave in the last week, Adobe Extension Manager no longer stand, CC2015, etc. etc. (see: HTML Panel advice #17: CC2015 Survival Guide |) Photoshop, etc.)

    ZXP installer works perfectly, unless you screwed up the ExMan database with the CC one app (I get screwed two and it was a majestic PITA for three days).

    Soon, Adobe killed the extensions Manager, transplanting its nucleus in the CC app + the ExManCmd utility, both based on the same data - Max uses the ExManCmd under the hood of its native application.

    Myself, I spent so many hours did the customer for the extensions Manager, which I personally prefer to use something different now - at least I can blame myself in case something is not :-), but it's just a matter of personal preference.

    I hope this helps!

  • Connection of database mysql server behaviors, absent, cannot find the disabledfeatures file to install the extension

    I realize that this is a question that arises much, but the only towers work I can find point to the disabledfeatures folder, which is absent in my CC install.

    The biggest problem that I, being a very inexperienced user, is that I can't recognize an alternative method to achieve my needs, which is to return information of request-a database that I can simply display on my page.

    I am more that willing to use any Adobe solution are promoting in lieu of server behaviors, but unfortunately need to a bit of a kick in the right direction to find it.

    Please someone give me a Polish, or help me find the extensions I need to continue with the old method.

    Thank you

    Cheers again Osgood; These will be useful. I'm still looking at alternatives, but have very little experience in the script, but it is useful to know that I have a return to the top with this.
