Hello. I have installed an add-on using a GPO. However, after upgrading to Firefox 68, my add-on is getting an installation error. Is it impossible to install by GPO on Firefox 68? If not, why is not it installed?

I attached the part that I confirmed by connecting to about: policies. Installation via download, not GPO, is installed normally, below is the installation link. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/3365031/gradius-7.3.11-fx.xpi?src=devhub

In the case of GPO installation, my add-on as well as other add-ons are not installed.

Please check the issue. Thank you.

This is a bug we accidentally introduced.

If you switch to a file URL, it should work:

file://c:/foo/bar.xpi

It should be fixed in the next version.
