(Linux Mint 20) plugin installation via script
Hello support team, I need to install Firefox plugins via script for all users. The script works as follows:
- download the ".xpi" file of the plugin
- get the plugin ID from within the "manifest.json" file (<"id":> tag)
- rename the ".xpi" file to the plugin ID (ending of the plugin file after renaming is still ".xpi")
- copy the plugin into the "/usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions" folder
This works for plugins which contains their ID inside the "manifest.json" file. But how do I find out the so called "permanent-id" of plugins where the ID is missing inside the "manifest.json"?
