Describe the bug
when i went to use the extension fire fox say it has been disabled. I uninstalled the add-on and tried to reinstall through the xpi link which prompts a message from fire fox saying it has blocked installation due to the add-on being unverified.

Browser Version:
I am using Firefox vision 131.0

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • to see disabled message
  1. Go to Manage Your Extensions
  2. it will show under the extinctions a section for disabled with a message being displayed stating "NHentaiDownloader has been disabled due to security or stability issues."
  3. the only option it gives me is to report,remove, and for more information.
  4. more information option does not explain exactly why the browser is force displaying the add-on out side of a generic list of as to why they may have disabled any add-on for Firefox.

i did not take a screen shot before uninstalling this is an example Mozilla provides on the help page for forced disable add-ons.

  • when I try to reinstall
  1. when i click on NHentaiDownloader.xpi instead of installing Firefox displays a message "fire fox prevented this site from installing an unverified add-on."

Expected behavior
when i click on NHentaiDownloader.xpi I expect it to install atomically to Firefox.

I expect for NHentaiDownloader to not be forced disabled by Firefox.

Additional context
I'm not entirely sure what may be cause this or when it started. The only thing i can think of causing this if the new update that happed on the 10-01-2024 for Firefox version 131. I did notice their a section on Mozilla help page that their is a way to use forced disabled add-ons but it warns of security ricks.

So I'm not the only one having this problem.
Ugh, this honestly sucks.

This is not really a great solution but a temporary way to solve this would be to follow these steps: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Your_first_WebExtension#installing

Other than that I'm not sure if there is not much way, since I can't release the extension on the Modzilla store (since NSFW things are against their TOS)

So an update
I just shifted to the developer version of Firefox
And the issue now is the fact that "it has a high risk of stability and security problems" as the reason why it doesn't wanna install.

Sadly, doing the temporary method doesn't work either even on developer version.

Setting both xpinstall.signatures.required and extensions.blocklist.enabled to false works. You still need Firefox Developer Edition; it should also work on the ESR although I didn't test this.

Derp, the latter was what I actually needed to do. I already set the former to false. Now it actually works on Developer Edition. Thanks.

So update.

I tried setting both xpinstall.signatures.required and extensions.blocklist.enabled to false on the base version of Firefox. Doesn't work, sadly.

On firefox stable you have to go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox and click "load temporary add-on" and load the zip file, this loads unverified addons but only for the current session (will be gone when you restart it)

Permanent loading of this extension on stable is probably killed forever, he can't publish this on the add-ons store because of nsfw

Edit: Also make sure you set the xpinstall.signatures.required and extensions.blocklist.enabled flags to false.
