Unable to run standalone profile of Firefox with new version of Firefox.
Type: other
Hey there.
I was trying to run a standalone profile of Firefox with the latest code (bash test/firefox.sh --justrun). I noticed that HTTPS Everywhere wasn't enabled so I checked whether the extension was on by default. It turns out that the version of Firefox (61.0.1) that I'm using seems to prevent the extension from working because it wasn't verified by Mozilla which is now a requirement according to this. I've also tried to do bash test/firefox.sh after installing Geckodriver, but it failed saying Firefox: HTTP to HTTPS redirection failed.
I didn't mention this in my original comment, but I'll mention it here: To fix the problem I had with Firefox, I did the following:
bash test/firefox.sh --justrun
Go to about:debugging
Click "Load Temporary Add-on"
Select any of the HTTPS Everywhere XPI files.
Click the Reload button beneath the newly loaded add-on.
Do whatever testing you want.
This was my solution. It's a temporary fix, however.
