Centos replaced well-running customise Firefox with version ESR 45.1.0
* All the add-ons (language dictionaries, Adblock Plus, Classic Theme
Restorer etc.) were disabled with no simple method of reactivating them.
Reason given was they were "unsigned".
* About:config
xpinstall.signatures.required = false
partially reduced the problem.
* Then possible to reactivate some disabled add-ons, but others
down-loaded OK but would not install
* removing files in ~/.mozilla/firefox/.../extensions.* and restarting
was supposed to help
However the time-wasting problem remains, so too do the down-loaded
extensions in /tmp, example tmp-xxx.xpi
Would be really nice if Centos warned its loyal and grateful users of
possible problems before those users trustingly replaced working
programmes with considerable time-wasting problems.
Time spent on trying to return Firefox to a useful and dependable
working tool is unavailable for other tasks :-(
