Copy
{e3be5efb-6c4f-431b-9919-98e09540fb05}.xpi
to the Firefox extensions directory.
Note: You might need to create some of the following directories: -
Create the following directories if needed:
- Windows:C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser\extensions\{e3be5efb-6c4f-431b-9919-98e09540fb05}.xpi
- macOS:/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Extensions/{e3be5efb-6c4f-431b-9919-98e09540fb05}/{e3be5efb-6c4f-431b-9919-98e09540fb05}.xpi

-
Set up configuration files that cause Firefox to enable the extension by default. If you do not set up these configuration files, the extension will be disabled by default.
-
Create a text file called
torii-mozilla.cfg
with the following contents:
// Don't skip this comment. If the first line is not a comment, the file will not load.
lockPref("extensions.autoDisableScopes", 0); -
Save
torii-mozilla.cfg
to the Firefox install directory:
- Windows:C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\torii-mozilla.cfg
- macOS:/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/torii-mozilla.cfg
- Linux:/usr/lib/firefox/torii-mozilla.cfg
-
Create a text file called
torii-prefs.js
with the following contents:
// Don't skip this comment. If the first line is not a comment, the file will not load.
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "torii-mozilla.cfg"); -
Save torii-prefs.js to the
/defaults/pref
subdirectory of the Firefox install directory:
- WindowsC:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\torii-prefs.js
- macOS:/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/defaults/pref/torii-prefs.js
- Linux:/usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/torii-prefs.js
-
Open Firefox and find the Torii Firefox extension installed.
You should use a dedicated tool to run these steps on your Windows/Mac/Linux devices.
