Hello,
It was suggested to add an ID to the manifest.json file inside the
extension archive in order to get around the corruption error. I tried
this using an addon that is not working:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-ff/
I did the following to add the ID:
- Download the XPI file
- Open it with 7-Zip
- Copy manifest.json out of the archive
- Add the following data to the json file:
"gecko": {
"id": "address@hidden"
},
- Copy the edited manifest.json file over the one inside the archive
- Attempt to install it in Icecat using "Install add-on from file"
When I do this, I'm still getting the corruption error. Does anyone know
if adding the information to the manifest.json is the only thing that
needs to be done? I've attached the files I used to test this.
vimium_ff-1.64.3-fx.xpi
Description: Zip archive
manifest.json
