Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, guests can no longer search the forum or view user accounts. At some point in the future Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability and the lifting of these restrictions. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

xpinstall.signatures.required parameter enforcement

Unread post by James69331 »

Hello, can anyone advise whether changing this parameter in about:config has any effect? It's available to be changed in firefox standard but has no effect when doing so. Apparently it does have an effect in firefox nightly but not sure about r3dfox. This needs to set to false to install unsigned extensions.

The history of that is that it is assumed that only "smart" people use NIGHTLY and that unsigned is allowed to make TESTING easier and it was never intended to be a default "for the masses" (ie, the less "smart") to use (or to even KNOW about).
