Firstly: Create file config.js

//
try {
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIProvider.jsm", {})
.eval("SIGNED_TYPES.clear()");
}
catch(ex) {}

You should place this file in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox directory

Secondly: Create file config-prefs.js

pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "config.js");

You should place this file in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref

Note!!! If it does not work for you then you should repeat it again! Maybe you need to reinstall your addons after that. Be carefully with file encoding! (UTF-8 and so on).

This metod block install addons on WebExtension API:

  • Disconnect 5.18+
  • Evernote Web Clipper 6.9+
