I am developing an extension for firefox. This extension is installed on a Windows operating system using registry key entries (). These registry keys are created by our global application installer (Not manually by the user). However, firefox disables my extension by default and i have to manually enable the extension. Is there a way to allow firefox to prompt the user for installation of this extension whenever its installed?
