    [7127] Firefox addon extensions do not work


    Hello folks, I have been using Seven since 7000. I now have 7127.
    My problem is with Firefox xpi extensions.
    I have read in the past that this is a known issue with installing xpi, but do you think I can find it now

    My Firefox addon extensions do not work, nor do they uninstall/reinstall.
    What do I need to tweak, please...

    Yeah mine used install nicely, but not now with 7127.
    Using latest Firefox - does it make a difference to the problem?
    Problem is with installing xpi's in general, not a specific extension.
    I know there is a fix, searched but cannot locate it.

    Open a New Tab and type about:config Then follow as shown in the picture, please check xpiinstall.enabled is true

    Hope it helps

    Yes royalhunter, and that don't work either.
    I am sure there is a tweak to some settings that needs to be done.
