FredOnline Posted May 4, 2019 Report Posted May 4, 2019 I have installed the Enpass extension numerous times on both Windows 10 and Linux Mint machines, on Chrome and Firefox. However today, attempting to install the extension on a Linux Mint machine in Firefox it fails, saying the extension is corrupt. I successfully installed the extension on the Chrome browser on the same machine a few minutes later. Have tried again, rebooted machine, still says extension is corrupt. Any assistance appreciated.
NLippincott Posted May 4, 2019 Report Posted May 4, 2019 I have this same problem in Ubuntu 18.04 and Firefox. When starting Firefox I had a message telling me that an add-on was disabled. Enpass showed up in the list of incompatible legacy add-ons. I thought I would try to remove it and re-install. When attempting to re-install it tells me the extension is corrupt.
Pedrober Posted May 4, 2019 Report Posted May 4, 2019 Same problem here (Mac OS High Sierra). First: Firefox disables the extension and notifies about that. Second: any attempt to reinstall the extension ends with the "Extension corrupt" message. Please help. Without the extension, Enpass is useless...
adhocracy Posted May 4, 2019 Report Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) This is a Firefox bug and it affects all extensions, not just Enpass. > Firefox developers are aware of the situation with AddOns and are working the problem. This is being tracked in bug #1548973. Edited May 5, 2019 by adhocracy
adhocracy Posted May 5, 2019 Report Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Update: You can enable Firefox Studies in your browser and the problem should be fixed automatically within a few hours (Studies are enabled by default so unless you disabled them everything should happen automatically), or you can click on a link in this Hackernews thread to fix the problem imminently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19826903 Edited May 5, 2019 by adhocracy
Pedrober Posted May 5, 2019 Report Posted May 5, 2019 The problem has been solved by the Firefox developers. The extension can be installed now without any problem. 1
