Ditributing firefox zotero connector using policy.json?

graumann

I am configuring all my firefox installations with a central policy.json, which includes installed add ons.
Here's an example that will force firefox to use startpage.com's addon:

```
{
"policies": {
"ExtensionSettings": {
"{20fc2e06-e3e4-4b2b-812b-ab431220cada}": {
"installation_mode": "force_installed",
"install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/startpage-private-search/latest.xpi"
}
},
"ExtensionUpdate": true
}
}
```
(BEWARE: the forum does NOT preserve/display indentation!)

I'm trying to achieve the same for the zotero connector addon, but am at a loss as it is not distributed through the firefox addons store and as seen from the example above requires an `install_url`, which I have been unable to tease out.

Can anyone help with pointing me at the appropriate URL for the latest version?

Thank you for any advise.

Sincerely, Joh

This would be the non-version-specific URL:

https://www.zotero.org/download/connector/dl?browser=firefox

(We've never tested this installation method, though.)

That apparently works! Thank you!
Might be some hiccups, as the traditional tool bar icon is missing, but I'll keep working on it...

If it's actually installed, that wouldn't be related to the installation.
