1315501 - WebExtensions based addon fails to install, Firefox 48-49, Linux

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[somnia]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
Build ID: 20161019084923

Steps to reproduce:

OS: Linux Mint 17.3, Firefox 49.0.2
1. Locate "Keyboard Surfing" addon by Somnia, version 1.2.52
2. Click on the "Add to Firefox" button




Actual results:

Can't install the addon - it gets perpetually stuck on "Downloading and verifying add-on, A few seconds remaining". Progress bar shows 100% (33.6 KB of 33.6 KB). Install button greyed out.

Note 1: It fails on Firefox 48 for Linux, too, but with a different error ("addon corrupted")
Note 2: Works on Firefox Beta 50 for Linux. When installed using Firefox 50 Beta, then it works on Firefox 49.
Also works on Firefox 49 for Windows
Note 3: I'm the developer of "Keyboard Surfing"



Expected results:

The "Install" button available for installing the addon.

Works correctly on Firefox 50, so I suggest closing this bug.
