User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/76.0.3809.100 Safari/537.36
Steps to reproduce:
- Install Firefox 68.0 on fresh copy of Windows (no Mozilla folders in users profile directory).
- Install the webextension via GPO (after that there is a value in windows registry with the extension's path in key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\Install). Out extension has id=uplook_network_filter_1.7@aplusc-systems.com.
- Start the Firefox.
Actual results:
The browser doesn't load the extension.
Expected results:
The browser should load the extension (FF 67.0.4 loads it smoothly).

Are you using a local path or a remote path?
It's a local path: C:\Program Files (x86)\A plus C Systems\uplook\Agent\uplook_network_filter-1.7-fx.xpi

Can you try:
file://C:/Program Files (x86)/A plus C Systems/uplook/Agent/uplook_network_filter-1.7-fx.xpi
We have a bug where legacy paths aren't working. There should be a patch in soon
Now the extension is loaded with no problem.
Can you estimate in what version of Firefox the bugfix will be available (or when)?
Could you provide a link to that bug so I can get more information?
And last question: Does Mozilla recommend to use the remote paths over local? Or it just doesn't matter?

Here's the bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1571120
I'm hoping to have it fixed in Firefox 69, ESR 68.1
We definitely don't have a preference of remote over local. Both should work fine.
We are going to recommend the file:// URL format in the future. We have a new extension policy we'll be rolling out that requires URLS (not local paths).
