Mozilla Add-ons Releases - FTP Site

Post by Seamaiden »

Mozilla used to have an FTP site for add-on releases (old and current releases). It still does for Firefox. I found the archive for old Firefox versions with a Google search and successfully downloaded Firefox 56.

Unfortunately, I cannot find Mozilla's add-ons archive to find older extensions that will work in Firefox 56. Can someone please direct me to the link for the Mozilla Add-ons Archive?

As far as I know, Mozilla doesn't have an archive of legacy addons. You should use Classic Addon Archive (https://github.com/JustOff/ca-archive/releases), an extension emulating AMO with legacy addons. It works with Firefox 56, Seamonkey, Waterfox and Pale Moon.

Mozilla does not have ftp:// protocal on their servers anymore (since Aug 2015) as http://ftp.mozilla.org is not FTP and Firefox does not view FTP anymore as of Fx 90.0.

Some legacy Extensions for the old EOL vulnerable Fx 56.0 and earlier versions may be found at https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/firefox/

Also Addons is a general term as it does not refer to just Extensions.

v1.0.0-pre.1 was released when Nightly was at v94.0a1, that's why the page says it's compatible up to Nightly 94, because it was tested on it at time time of the release. This doesn't necessary mean it's not compatible with versions higher than v94. The same logic applies to latest TMP (v1.0.0-pre.4). You can read from the main page that TMP intend to be compatible with Nightly, so I guess it works on it

It's under "Assets".

Firefox 56 removed. Firefox 95 reinstalled. I will wait until TMP 1.0.0 is released on AMO.

TMP will never be released again on AMO. Legacy addons are no longer supported. You can only install them by external site and following very specific instructions.
