I have developer version installed (44.0a2) with firebug 2.0.13 plugin. When I right-click on the webpage and select "inspect element with firebug" I get a pop-up asking me to install firebug 3.0 beta. when I click "install and restart" I get an error message saying the install of firebug 3.0 failed.
When I try to install firebug 3.0 manually - firebug-3.0.0-beta.1.xpi I get a failed install due to add-on not verified. I am getting the firebug 3.0 xpi from https://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/3.0/
Can anyone help with how to install firebug 3.0 with the developer version of firefox?
I had this problem today. It is because by default firefox is not allowing unsigned plugins, which firebug 3 is because it is still beta.
To disable extensioning signing
type about:config in the address bar
search for xpinstall.signatures.required
Right click and toggle it to false
This should allow it to install.
The alternative is disabling multiprocess firefox so that firebug 2 can
still work. This can be done by disabling multiprocess firefox in the settings menu.

I have followed this link as well But it didn't work.
Firebug has been discontinued and is no longer supported.
Firefox users should use the Firefox Developer Tools instead.
I just finished building my first addon for Firefox using the new Addon SDK.
I'm able to download and install the addon on my desktop Firefox 33.0 and it runs without a problem, however when I try to install the same addon on Firefox for Android 33.0 I get an error message: "... could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 33.0"
Do I need to do anything special to allow my addon to run on Firefox for Android? The addon is generic and there's no reason why it shouldn't run on Android
EDIT: It seems like the problem was indeed that some APIs are not supported in Firefox for Android, the link provided by willma contains all the information required to release an addon for mobile.
It is likely you're using a module that isn't compatible with mobile. See the mobile module compatibility list for more details.
I have created a XPCOM add-on for firefox by the name "Sample Mozilla AddOn" from XPCOM C++ SDK. I have created an XPI file (which is an add-on installer in Firefox).
When i try to install this XPI to install my XPCOM component, i get an error "Sample Mozilla AddOn could not be installed because it has a high risk of causing stability or security problems"
I tried looking out on internet and MDN, but could not found any concrete information.
Kindly Help
Thanks and Regards

open mozilla firefox,
then drag the .xpi file and drop it in mozilla firefox window.
Then click install > restart firefox.
Just try it...!
I have an custom addon developed for our workplace (using the add-on SDK) that was originally developed for FF4.
When FF5 came out all I had to do was rebuild the XPI. FF6 was able to use the same XPI.
Now I'm trying to get it running in FF7, and it's not working. I get a "this add-on is not compatible with Firefox 7" when trying to install it.
I've read this blog post:
http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/07/19/firefox-7-compat-looking-to-8/
And from what I can tell none of the changes affect my add-on.
Also running this validation test
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addon/validate
Yields no errors or warnings.
Any clue on how to find out what makes FF7 think it incompatible?
You should use the newest version of the Add-on SDK to rebuild your add-on. Right now, the latest version you get offered on the SDK download page is Add-on SDK 1.1, released on September 13th. It will mark add-ons compatible with everything up to Firefox 8.0a1. You are most likely using an older version, e.g. Add-on SDK 1.0 would only mark add-ons as compatible with Firefox 7.0a1.
I've tried installing Selenium IDE from their website. The newest version - 1.0.2 - installs fine. After restarting Firefox, I go to "Tools" > "Selenium IDE", and this window opens:
No more happens. I can access the menus of Selenium (Create New Test Case, etc.) but clicking them doesn't have any effect.
I am using Firefox 3.5.3 on Mac OS 10.6.1. The version I installed of Selenium IDE was 1.0.2 from http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-ide/1.0.2/
Is there any way to make it work? Or is it just me who cannot make it work?
Generally the conflicting extension are themes, for not having to create a completely clean profile and loose all your add-ons, try using firefox in it's default theme and see if that works better.
