[Mozilla Enterprise] Installing extensions systemwide... someone yes, someone no?

[James Pearson]

'tbsync at jobisoft.de' does appear to be the 'id' in its manifest.json - so 'tbsync at jobisoft.de.xpi' _should_ work ...

However, I've only ever used centrally installed extensions with Firefox ESR ...

Good.

No, no UUID in manifest file.

There's no META-INF folder in extensions.


Also, if i install 'personally' the extensions (eg, with my yser, in
user folder) they are written as 'tbsync at jobisoft.de.xpi'.
