Understanding Temporary Extensions

Firefox often prompts users to install extensions temporarily, especially when downloading them from untrusted sources. This temporary installation is a security measure to prevent malicious extensions from causing harm.

How to Make them Permanent

go to this path in explorer

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref

in there will be a file called channel-pref.js or anyname.js

take a backup of that file and delete it

https://github.com/tsaost/autoload-temporary-addon/tree/main

download

config-prefs.js and userChrome.js and put it in pref folder

then open firefox and go to

about:debugging#/

then load your extension and it will be permannently added
