1196846 - Some release-channel Firefox 40 profiles block unsigned addons

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1195034

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Unsigned addons are getting blocked on some of my Release Firefox 40 profiles. This blocking shouldn't happen on Release yet. David Major reproduced this issue on what looked like a new profile during a presentation, but I can't reproduce this behavior reliably.

Unsigned extensions I've seen blocked on Release so far: skype click-to-call, ted's Crash Me extension

Turns out dmajor was using Nightly after all, so ignore that data point

Are you able to attach the extensions.json file from the profile where you see this?

Ok what you're seeing is bug 1195034. The add-on is actually disabled because it isn't compatible with your version of Firefox (it lists compatibility with 3.6 -> 21.* and it has a binary component so we obey that strictly). But because of bug 1195034 we're showing the error about it being unsigned rather than a message about it being incompatible.
