Before I added the addon manually within the kiosk itself - the modifications are only temporary but the profile folder within the kiosk reflects nevertheless the installed update. With kiosk 3.1 I could sucessfully enable the easywhitelist addon by just copying the extension () into the /extensions folder and copying two other files: extension.ini and prefs.js. The unsquashing and re-squashing with sudo-rights didn't work with my old iso from kiosk 3.0 but probably something else was wrong with it. You can use the profile manager to create, rename, delete or start profiles. The open profile manager menu lets you open Firefox's built-in profile manager in normal mode or safe mode. I don't know why it now works because all the extracting and copying happened in my personal home folder and I never got any permission error message - but well. The add-on ships with a button that you can drag and drop to one of the Firefox toolbars instead if you prefer to work with the Profile Switcher extension this way. basically I gave it a last try following. I managed to successfully unsquash and re-squash the 003-settings.zxm file using sudo rights! I did everything as before, just as sudoer. Open the Porteus user's extensions.sqlite and ensure the addons table includes the new addonsĪll done, working great with touchscreen style keyboard addon.
FIREFOX PROFILE MANAGER ADDON INSTALL
Install SQL Lite manager on development machine (Firefox addon)Įxamine the backed up extensions.sqlite file and make a note of the addon details (I exported them to a csv using the addon) Use Meld to compare prefs.js between both and amend the Porteus one accordinglyĪt this point it should work but will likely complain about missing extensions due to extensions.sqlite being different Replace the Porteus Firefox profile with that of the new linux user Note: I couldn't get the admin mode working, whether I missed something I don't know, so I'm sure there will be an easier way than this! If anyone has it please let me know.Ĭreate a new user on another linux machine with Firefox installedĬopy the existing Porteus Firefox profile somewhere for comparison You would open the extensions.json in the profile folder, for instance like this: C:\Users\Noitidart\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\fault\extensions. Id like to have the option in FireFox ProfileManager (not only to create or delete but) to create a new profile by copying an existing profile.
FIREFOX PROFILE MANAGER ADDON FULL
Ok I got this going, the full howto would take me forever to type it up, so here's the method I used, hope it'll help someone out. If you are trying to identify if the addon is installed from outside the Firefox environment, you can do so by reading from the file system.
