How to install hosted firefox(in firefox store) extension using registry.(like chrome does via update_url)

more options

I can install the firefox extension by adding key in registry and giving the path to extension folder which is saved in my machine. I want to install it from addon store of firefox, like in chrome adding key "update_url":"link to websotre" and chrome downloads and installs it, something like this I am needed to do. Is this possible in firefox? Thanx.

You need the extension file.

Globally-installed extensions aren't updated by Firefox.
