在没有Mozilla批准的情况下,无法在Firefox中安装自己的插件。

我为我妈妈创建了一个小扩展,用于从她工作中使用的第三方在线应用程序中提取数据。虽然除了她之外没有人会使用这个扩展,但它确实在她的工作流程中提供了很大的帮助。这个扩展非常小,只有大约50行代码。 正如标题所说,我发现要在发布版本中安装扩展,必须对其进行签名,也就是说,必须经过Mozilla的审核(在我的情况下,由于与第三方的集成,这是不可能的)。在我看来,她的电脑上没有办法安装这个扩展(而且不应该需要切换到Nightly或Developer版本),这实在是太疯狂了。坦白说,Mozilla以这种方式限制他们的软件,实在有点像谷歌。 如果这是为了通过Mozilla商店分发扩展而必须的,我完全可以理解,但这实在是太过于干涉了。 关于这个问题,两年前的一篇帖子至今仍被忽视。 你对此有什么看法?

I created a small extension for my mom, to extract data from a third-party online web-app that she uses for work.<p>No-one but her is ever going to use this, but it helps her a lot in her workflow, nevertheless. It&#x27;s tiny with around 50 lines of code.<p>Now, as the title says, I found out that in order to install an extension in Release version, you _have_ to sign the extension, i.e. have it reviewed by Mozilla (which in my case is impossible, due to the third-party integration) [1]. In my opinion, it is absolutely crazy that there is no way for her to install the extension on her computer (without switching to Nightly or Developer, which she shouldn&#x27;t have to), to use this and, frankly, it is very Google-esque for Mozilla to gate-keep their software like this.<p>I would totally understand if this is required for the extension to be distributed through the Mozilla store, but this is too infringing.<p>A two year-old post on the matter is being ignored [2].<p>What are your thoughts on this?<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.mozilla.org&#x2F;Add-ons&#x2F;Extension_Signing [2] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;connect.mozilla.org&#x2F;t5&#x2F;ideas&#x2F;allow-manually-permanently-installed-unsigned-extensions&#x2F;idi-p&#x2F;26583
