Firefox Connnector Whitelisting - Group Policy
Hi there,
I'm an IT administrator, and am currently trying to whitelist the Firefox Zotero Connector.
In Firefox, we have all extensions blocked by default using ExtensionSettings within the Firefox ADMX template. Desired applications are then unblocked using their extension ID and install URL.
My problem is I can't seem to get the right details which will allow Zotero to install. Does anyone know what the correct settings are?
Here's what I have tried:
Extension ID: zotero@chnm.gmu.edu (found in About:support)
Install URL: https://www.zotero.org/download/
Install URL 2nd attempt: https://download.zotero.org/
Install URL 3rd attempt: https://www.zotero.org/download/connector/dl?browser=firefox&version=5.0.61
And here's how it's formatted in the actual policy:
"zotero@chnm.gmu.edu": {
"installation_mode": "allowed",
"install_url": "https://download.zotero.org/"
}
Firefox ExtensionSettings documentation: https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md#extensionsettings
Any advice greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Nick

https://download.zotero.org/
. (You can see withcurl -v
or the Network pane of the devtools.)I'm not clear on the difference between
install_url
andinstall_sources
, but it looks likeinstall_url
needs the XPI URL andinstall_sources
needs both.To add exceptions, install_url is used and is populated with the XPI URL as you said.
I've now tried all of the following as the install_url:
https://download.zotero.org/connector/firefox/release/Zotero_Connector-5.0.61.xpi
https://download.zotero.org/extension/zotero-4.0.29.25.xpi
https://www.zotero.org/download/
https://download.zotero.org/
Still no luck. I even tried adding them all together.
Btw I'm using
Firefox 74.0(x64)
Firefox policy templates v1.14
Windows 10 (18363.657)
