Looks like the addon signing requirement kicks in since 43. I'll see if I can self-sign for the self-host package. In the mean time probably just wait for Octotree to appear on Mozilla store.

Thanks for the quick reply,

If you have a link to the XPI file I really don't care signed or not since I disable it and for FF44 I will use the "unbranded" version cause you will be able to disable the "sign check".

You can find the XPI of Octotree.v2 here: https://github.com/buunguyen/octotree/tree/master/dist.

Also just read more into the doc, Mozilla only allow self-sign for addon that is unlisted on their store. Since Octotree is listed, it can't be self-signed. So looks like either have to wait for Octotree to appear on the store or disable self check to use the prepackaged XPI.

BTW, how to disable sign check in Firefox? Maybe useful to others who stumble upon this issue.

[mikhoul]

Just type "about:config" in the URL bar and change xpinstall.signatures.required to FALSE

Beginning with Firefox 44 Mozilla will release an Unbranded version of Firefox (With no logo) and you will be able to disable the "sign check" inside or there will be no sign check at all in this version.

Regards 😄

@buunguyen There is a problem the files are corrupted, I tried with the XPI files and to be sure I tried also to download the zip file and I can't open both file in Winrar/7Zip and Firefox say the XPI file is corrupted.

Take a look on your side and let me know I will retry after !

Have a good day ! 🍹

Hmm, I can run the XPI in dist without problem. Disabling sign check per your instructions makes it fly. Not sure what's wrong. Are you using OSX or Windows?

FYI, It's OK on Firefox 43 on Linux

[mikhoul]

Tried again and it work fine... maybe it was a transmission error from the server ? Who know ! 😊

Have a nice day 🎄

Ok, good to know. I've updated README about sign-check. Closing this issue now.

I'll just add that the workaround mentioned above (linked in the README.md) no longer works in stable version. All Firefox addons need to be signed and installed from AMO.
