How to manually install a firefox add-on

lol i mean manually manually!!!!

first download .xpi file

open it with winrar

open \defaults\preferences\prefs.js in the content

copy all the pref(s) to \(profile dir)\prefs.js at the end... and don't forget to add "user_" in front of the pref... making them "user_pref... "

the first line of the prefs is usually --> extensions.***********.description

make a dir in \(profile dir)\extensions\, name it *******

copy all the contents from the xpi to that dir

go back to profile dir... open extensions.ini

u'll see -->
Extension0=N:\Software\FireFox\extensions\blah blah blah
Extension1=N:\Software\FireFox\extensions\blah blah blah
etc....

add another line at the bottom
Extension2=wherever your new made dir is...

save everything while firefox is not running, double check in the task manager...

voila! all done, now open firefox... and u'll get a msg telling u that a new add-on has just been installed...

hmm this took me 20min to figure out... don't u just hate it when the admin set the xpinstall.enabled to false and locked it...

well not a problem now

oh... an alternative method would be install all the addons u want on ur personal computer and copy the entire profile folder to the "target" machine... but it could be time consuming and u might want to just add one addon for emergency... purposes... whatever

Let us be blessed by God

I know we have had many rough times in the past few months. Things don’t have to be the same in the future. We learn best through our failures, and through God, we are made righteous. i have let you down in the past, I am terrible regretful for that. But I have faith that God chose you for me, and as a christian I will not give up pursuing you, as I believe in God’s eyes, we are married already. Please give our relationship a second thought. I would be more than happy to make sacrifice for you. I accept you, I cherish you, I support you, and I will assure our relationship is good in God’s eyes.
