+# Playlist Extension
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Firefox browser extension that manages video playlists and tracks playback history.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Loading for Development
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Load via `about:debugging` → "Load Temporary Add-on" → select `manifest.json`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Packaging
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Create an `.xpi` file (the extension package format — just a ZIP with a different extension). Make sure `manifest.json` and other top-level files are at the root of the archive, not inside a subdirectory:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
+zip -r playlist.xpi manifest.json background.js content_scripts/ icons/ popup/ shared/
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Installing Permanently (without the store)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Option A: AMO Unlisted Signing (works on any standard Firefox)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Mozilla will sign your extension without publishing it publicly:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. Create a developer account at addons.mozilla.org
|
|
|
+2. Submit the `.xpi` as **"unlisted"** (self-distribution, not public)
|
|
|
+3. Mozilla reviews it (usually auto-approved for unlisted) and returns a signed `.xpi`
|
|
|
+4. Install the signed `.xpi` permanently on any standard Firefox — no dev mode needed
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The extension never appears in the public store.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Option B: Unsigned `.xpi` on Firefox Developer Edition or Nightly
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Standard Firefox release enforces signature checks and ignores the bypass preference. **Firefox Developer Edition** and **Nightly** have `xpinstall.signatures.required` set to `false` by default, so they accept unsigned `.xpi` files as permanent installs.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Drag-and-drop the `.xpi` into the browser, or go to `about:addons` → gear icon → "Install Add-on From File".
