Thanks for making this - I wish there was just a simple pref you could set in about:config in the default firefox install, but this works.

Feature request: Add an "Allow Once" button next to the "Edit Options" button when an website isn't on the whitelist for extension installs
There is a bug on this but no firefox developers have indicated they plan on adding this. It would go well with the theme of this extension.

[mrtech]

There's currently a bug report and patch for pref usage of timeout, but it's not implement yet:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245737

"Allow Once" might be tough with my current schedule, but I'll try to dive into this one, thanks.

[velcrospud]

no rush... just be nice to have eventually

[BenBasson]

I'm sure plenty of people will find this useful, but I'd just like to point out the reason the delay was implemented in the first place: Bug 162020. Keep up the good work.

mrtech: Thanks tons for your extension. It really is nice to remove that damned delay

[mrtech]

funny thing is if you get the latest nightly you have to disable the old version, restart and then install the new, might require a few restarts since em/tm code is in a state of flux with trunk builds, but it's all good after that, enjoy.

[JoshPowell]

Not sure if its fixed in 1.2.4.. but whatever version I have installed now, causes the install now button to flicker a little bit.

Other than that, sweet extension Super handy.


There really should be an about.config pref for this built into Firefox.

on trunk builds I've seen the flickering, but I'm trying to work around the new xpi install code, we'll see what I can do for a future release.
