Description of problem: Firefox 43 disables unsigned extensions by default. Must go to about:config and toggle xpinstall.signatures.required to false to enable mozilla-https-everywhere. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mozilla-https-everywhere-5.1.1-1.fc23.noarch firefox-43.0-1.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: always
Just confirming the above and the suggested workaround.
The xpinstall.signatures.required option is expected to not exist anymore in Firefox 44, scheduled for January 26 release, so this needs to be fixed by then.
This needs to be fixed in our Firefox packaging. This iOS-like DRM scheme is entirely incompatible with Free Software and unacceptable for Fedora. If Mozilla refuses to allow us to disable it, we need to go the Iceweasel route. I am putting this to FESCo's attention.
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1518 Note that this CANNOT be fixed in this addon package without violating the Fedora policy that bans shipping binary blobs, and that the blobs are also not going to work on secondary architectures.
mozilla-adblockplus-2.6.11-1.fc22.noarch mozilla-noscript-2.7-1.fc22.noarch Are also disabled in the new firefox I just updated to tonight on F22. This is going to bite a lot of people: anybody who uses a Fedora-packaged addon. I didn't realize the problem was so nasty as to require DRM-ish schemes. Does FF really want to go the route of being kicked out of Fedora?? If so, must be some ulterior motive.
... You can't be serious. I keep the EFF signature. The build is just a straight unzip of the XPI into the firefox global extension directory, then symlink to seamonkey's. Is that not enough? Or is Mozilla only going to allow AMO signatures?
Just tried 5.1.4, which actually has the EFF signature, in F22 with Firefox 44. The EFF signature isn't enough. Mozilla's info page does not mention that it must be signed *by Mozilla.* I can understand the security reasons, but Chrome and iOS come under fire for this. Why do people jailbreak iPhones? Because they want to install stuff that doesn't have Apple's blessing. Geez, Mozilla. What happened to coding for the users?
With firefox-45.0.1-2.fc23, the extension is enabled by default (even with xpinstall.signatures.required set to the default true).
(In reply to Andre Robatino from comment #8) > With firefox-45.0.1-2.fc23, the extension is enabled by default (even with > xpinstall.signatures.required set to the default true). here has been some sort of agreement to enable Fedora to patch it. https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1518#comment:127
