Distribute Signed Extension for Firefox

The current extension is not signed and firefox complains about it.

so I went ahead and signed it for myself.

here is the process to sign first clone the repo git clone https://github.com/jasonlong/isometric-contributions.git then do npm install --global web-ext what is web-ext? Web-ext docs Web ext getting started

now go ahead and generate JWT issuer and JWT secret from add-on developer hub. it is like API key for signing the extension.

now cd into <extension-repo>/firefox/isometric-contributions/ then run this command to sign web-ext sign --api-key <your-JWT-issuer> --api-secret <your-JWT-secret>

this should give you a signed extension(.xpi file) inside a folder named web-ext-artifacts inside your current working directory

Ok, finally got the problem worked out and got the add-on submitted for review.

Thanks for this info @electron0zero. I’m not very familiar with Firefox’s extensions and didn’t realize the progress they’d made since last I looked.

I’ve gone ahead and started the process of uploading the extension to addons.mozilla.org (ran into an error that I emailed them about) and, if I understand right, they will sign the .xpi on their end. If so, I assume I don’t need to bother with the steps you listed here. Is that correct?
