Unable to install unsigned extension despite following suggestions
Hello everyone, I wrote an add-on for my own personal use. I don't intend to publish it. So naturally, it isn't verified, but I trust it. I am able to install the add-on as a temporary add-on under about:debugging, and it works as intended. The manifest file contains "browser_specific_settings": {
"gecko": { "id": "[email protected]" }
} I would now like to install the add-on permanently. So I packaged it as a zip file. The zip file contains the files directly without a parent folder. Under about:config I set xpinstall.signatures.required, xpinstall.whitelist.required and extensions.langpacks.signatures.required to false. Then I went to about:addons clicked on install add-on from file and selected the zip file. I got the error message: "This addon could not be installed because it has not been verified". I am using Firefox for archlinux, version 112.0.
What am I missing? How can I install this addon?
I apprechiate your answers.

You can get an extension signed for personal use by choosing not to make it available on the Add-ons website.

You can't do this with a regular release version, xpinstall.signatures.required is only supported on ESR and in developer builds (Developer Edition and Nightly).
xpinstall.signatures.required (Firefox ESR 102.10, Firefox ESR only)
