I’m trying to install the firefox extension from a network without access to internet but it seems that it needs internet access to be able to install.
Is there a way around this?
Hello,
Yes it’s possible:
- Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/passbolt/
- Right click on the button “add to firefox” and save the XPI file
- Move the XPI file to your protected network
- Open the browser and go to
about:addons - Click on the little cog button and then “install from file”.
You need to repeat this operations each time there is a release of the addon (firefox will update the extension automatically with the new file), which can be cumbersome if you have a lot of users.
Another option, which require a bit more technical knowledge, would be to get the source code, compile the addon with a custom update url on your private network. At least this way you can still update all the addons at once.
I hope this helps,
I did this and after the “install Add-on from file” it just hangs at “Downloaded…” and nothing happens
Normally you should see a popup asking you to approve as follow:
Which version of firefox are you using?
I’m using Firefox 62.0
Can you take screenshot of what you are seeing?
It comes in 2 parts.
Right after doing the install from file nothing happens.
After refreshing the page I get this :
Which operating system is it? (i’m unable to reproduce this)
I’m running Ubuntu 16.04
