How can I disable signature checking for Firefox add-ons?


Since version 42, Firefox, by default, refuses to install unsigned add-ons. How do I disable this verification?


Solution

  • It is only possible to disable addons verification in Nightly, Developer and Enterprise channels. In other words it is no longer possible in the standard release.

    1. Go to about:config (enter it into address bar)
    2. Set xpinstall.signatures.required to false.
