Hi,

I have the Add-on Adobe Acrobat Create PDF version 2.01.01 (installed when I installed Adobe Professional version XI) on two computers both using FireFox 52.2.1 ESR.

In one computer (A), is recognized and works perfectly well. In this computer, xpinstall.signature required is set to "true" ( I checked it !)

In another computer (B), it is not recognized and is disabled. The only way I found to have it recognized was, for this computer, to set xpinstall.signature required to "false".

Both computers run under Win7 and are very similar in all set-up and software installed. However, not all installed plug-ins and add-ons are the same.

What could be the problem and why is this add-on is recognized in computer A but not in computer B (unless changing xpinstall.signature required) ? Could it be related to other plug-ins or add-ons ?

xpinstall.signature.required isn't used beyond Firefox 47 on the Release and Beta versions of Firefox.

Thank you for your answer but it does not correspond to what I see...

In computer A, I can see that "xpinstall.signature.required" is "true"...

In computer B, I saw that "xpinstall.signature.required" was true AND Adobe Create PDF was NOT recognized. When I changed it to "false", it was accepted ... but with a warning that it could not be verified ...

So, in my version of 52.2.1. ESR, "xpinstall.signature.required" exists and seems to play a role (at least in computer B)
