Allowing the install of themes using policies.json
I am creating a policies.json file to block all Add ons except ones specified specifically.
I have figured out how to do this for normal extensions, but I have run into issues when applying the same principle to themes. What am I doing wrong? Here is my sample code that works to allow the ublock add on, no problem, but it is not working to allow the matte-black-red theme:
{
"policies": {
"ExtensionSettings": {
"*": {
"blocked_install_message": "Error message to display",
"install_sources": [
"https://addons.mozilla.org/"
],
"installation_mode": "blocked"
},
"uBlock0@raymondhill.net": {
"install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/ublock-origin/latest.xpi",
"installation_mode": "allowed"
},
"{a7589411-c5f6-41cf-8bdc-f66527d9d930}.xpi": {
"install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/matte-black-red/latest.xpi",
"installation_mode": "allowed"
}
}
}
}

I notice you have add ed the .xpi file extension to the ID
"{a7589411-c5f6-41cf-8bdc-f66527d9d930}.xpi": {
"install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/matte-black-red/latest.xpi",
"installation_mode": "allowed"
}
This should likely be:
"{a7589411-c5f6-41cf-8bdc-f66527d9d930}": {
"install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/matte-black-red/latest.xpi",
"installation_mode": "allowed"
}

Yep! That was it. Removing the .xpi fixed the issue. Thank you!
