Add-on installation hangs at verification.

[juj]

Trying to install gecko profiler to current Nightly with STR:

1. Downloaded https://github.com/bgirard/Gecko-Profiler-Addon/blob/master/src/geckoprofiler.xpi
2. From the local computer Downloads folder, dragged the downloaded xpi file on top of the browser window.

That gives me a downloading and verifying screen:

But that screen never finished even after I leave it there for 10 minutes, and the add-on doesn't install. (Btw, do you prefer bug reports here or bugzilla?)

I think this may be happening since the add-on is not signed. You can turn on the extensions.logging.enabled pref and look at the browser console for the log messages from the extension manager. I'm trying to get the add-on signed, but in the mean time you can also disable add-on signing (don't have the pref name for that handy, sorry.)

EDIT: looks like this was already false for me (firefox 40.0.3 dev edition) and it worked without hangs.

I used to get a signature failure error and set that pref, however now it just hangs there without any error. On Sep 5, 2015 11:07 PM, "Emanuel Czirai" [email protected] wrote:

FYI, that's issue #94.
