That's not what mozilla is changing with this policy change. You've had to either sign or temporarily load an unsigned packed/unpacked extension for a while now.



Okay, as bad as Chrome then. Thanks for the clarification.


Pretty much. There's a preference you can change to allow unsigned extensions, but it only works in dev/nightly firefox and "unbranded editions" of release/beta firefox.

Well, except there are other versions of Firefox (such as developer) where you could install it. This is for the base vanilla version, if you will.
