Are you sure that Firefox 8 extensions deployment is the same as Firefox 4?<br>
<br>
I followed the instructions in the "Firefox 4 Series Extensions" section of<br>
the wpkg firefox page, but, even if after the installation i see the folder<br>
with the GUID number in the \firefox\extensions\ folder, and even if i see<br>
the registry key in the "HKLM\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions" path,<br>
when i launch the program and i go to see the extensions panel, it's empty.<br>
<br>
If i try to install the .xpi directly from the browser, it is indeed<br>
installed, but i have no idea about where the system put the addon files<br>
(surely not under \firefox\extensions\ and surely there's no<br>
"HKLM\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions" key added by the browser<br>
installation).<br>
<br>
Can anyone help me? The addon is "dizionario_italiano-3.3.1-tb+fx+sm.xpi".<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
