[SOLVED] Firefox Color extension import problem

Posted September 17th, 2020, 2:24 pm

Using FF 80.0.1 en-US and I am trying to import the .xpi file generated by the Firefox Color extension, but it says that it's corrupt. This is whether the "File Open" or "Install Extension from file" method is used. Does anyone know how I can fix this, or should I report this issue to Bugzilla since it's a Mozilla product?

P.S: This is same in Windows 10 or Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.0.

Try opening the .xpi file in Notepad.

A zip file should start with "PK". ( i.e. hexadecimal 504B )

If it starts with "<!DOCTYPE html>" or "<html>", then it's not a zip file.

It is a PK file and the screenshot of the contents are posted on https://imagesharing.com//photo.php?s=063nctvp

The contents of the accompanying zipped manifest.json are

Code: Select all: { "manifest_version": 2, "version": "1.0", "name": "ineuw", "theme": { "images": {}, "properties": {}, "colors": { "toolbar": "rgb(7, 50, 84)", "toolbar_text": "rgb(245, 255, 1)", "frame": "rgb(14, 41, 65)", "tab_background_text": "rgb(75, 204, 227)", "toolbar_field": "rgb(255, 255, 255)", "toolbar_field_text": "rgb(0, 0, 0)", "tab_line": "rgb(218, 67, 155)", "popup": "rgb(7, 50, 84)", "popup_text": "rgb(245, 255, 1)", "tab_loading": "rgb(218, 67, 155)" } } }
