firefox -install-global-extension


Question Posted Saturday March 15 2014, 12:37 am

What does this command do when you install firefox? I was trying to install an add-on for FF when it said to do this from the command box and I got scared? Any people here who are smarter than me about these things? :)

This command installs the add-on for all users on that computer, as opposed to only the account you're using at the time.

To do that, you download the .xpi file for the extension you want, and then type this command in the command prompt:

firefox -install-global-extension <file path>

where <file path> is the location to which you downloaded the file.
