  • It’s been a while since extensions need to be signed for FF to enable them. Not sure if Librewolf build scripts do something about it, but the config is not configured by default:

    % grep xpinstall.signatures.required /usr/lib/librewolf/librewolf.cfg
    %
    

    and if you look for it on about:config, it’s enabled. So far it’s functionality is mainly to sort of not allowing dangerous extensions, though that promise can’t really be fulfilled, and besides, and it’s true the feature can be abused, but it’s not something new for FF, not sure why that petition is showing up just now, hmm. For the apps I use, this hadn’t posed a problem on Librewolf so far.

    But it’s been a while I don’t see Librewolf devs around this community and the other lemmy one I know !librewolf@jeremmy.ml seems abandoned. Perhaps someone is familiar with Librewolf build scripts…
