Clicking or double clicking on downloaded file (*.xpi) opens dialog, that file cannot be opened, is not asociated. Analogous for *.jar. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.download an extension (*.xpi)or theme (*.jar) 2.(double)click on it in download manager Actual Results: dialog "What to do with XPI files?" Expected Results: Offer to install the extension. Firefox should associate the *.xpi and *.jar file extension during installation. Probably optionally. Download extensions (*.xpi) could be installed using built-in file browsing (file://C:/.../*.xpi). But themes (*.jar) COULD NOT be installed off-line! Or I did not found an easy way how to do it.
Download from where ?
Any site that provides FireFox extension, e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ right on the install button and choose save link as. I need to install same extensions to install on more computers, so I prefer to download them first and than install.
Component: Download Manager → Extension/Theme Manager
QA Contact: download.manager → extension.manager
Drag them into the add-ons manager window to install, or on non-firefox use the install button there.
