Hello,

I am trying to install an extension from an external source (security extension who is not on the store), but i have some issues.

Firefox Version: 60.7 ESR (x64) ADMX: 1.7

Configuration: Addons > Allowed Sites: Enabled with the domain url of the editor in the list. Addons > Allow add-on install from websites: Enabled Extensions > Extensions to Install: Enabled with an url like: https://editor.com//extension-fx.xpi xpinstall.signatures.required: False

I can install all extensions from addons.mozilla.org but no extension from an external source (like github for exemple). I am able to install the extension manually, but not with GPO.

Do you have any idea about this issue? Thank you for your help.

  • With computer policy, it works fine
