Software

when compiling the addon. But when u actually use the CCK-wizard. It would ask you to specify the trust when importing them. - Sidhugadu 11 years ago

I have no Problem creating an Addon using CCK. I just open CCK via Tools => CCK Wizard, make a new config, give it a name, make all the settings and save it afterwards.
Then i get a Folder called xpi and two files called cck.config and testit.xpi (TestIT is the name of the addon).
And then i can import testit.xpi into Firefox and install it like every other addon in .xpi Format
What does your error say?

I can specify the trust of Certificate Authoritys in CCK, that's right. But I also try to import a Server Certificate, for which I cant specify the trust in CCK, and by default it's untrusted
It seems that importing the cert8.db from an existing Firefox-Profile which already has installed and trusted the certificates makes these settings in the new profile, too. But when i put the cert8.db into INSTALLDIR\browser\defaults\profile, it doesn't import it when creating a new profile.
I'm still working on this and will tell you when i found out something - EbrithilBowser 11 years ago

I have placed both the files the vbscript and the cert8.db file in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox and then opened regedit and added a entry like this


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

"FirefoxCertificates"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\Firefox_certificates.vbs\""

So that it would run the vbscript as many times as it could as we are not really sure when the user really launches Firefox as the profile is created then only.

save the vbscript as Firefox_certificates.vbs( you can change it to what ever name you want to and make sure you have the same name in the registry as well).

Hope this works out fine for you. Please do drop me a line if need more help with this@ sidhugorantla@gmail.com - Sidhugadu 11 years ago

Thank you very much for the script. Do I really have to add those double-Slashes into the Registry-String? - EbrithilBowser 11 years ago

Dont really have to. Just create a registry with the location of the vbscript along with the name that needs to run everytime the user logs in. And working on the App-V version of it now. Hope everything goes fine. - Sidhugadu 11 years ago

Yeah... I also created a random text file to see if that would be copied over to no avail... - TJohnson93 7 years ago
