[Mozilla Enterprise] CCTK xpi install fails - 'does not contain a valid manifest'

[Chris Mortimer]

Thank you James, that worked.  In the new AD domain I'm building I will be using policies (shame we cann't set where profiles are stored like you can in the Chrome policy).  Being able to use autoconfig files in ESR 68 should get me over the gap between now and using policies.

Thanks

Chris
