Hello everyone,
I am not sure if this is the right place to raise this, I just spent a few hours with this topic before I found this bug report.
I wanted to disable addon installation in firefox in general, but I would like to allow an approved whitelist of addons/sources. I tried to solve this with the new firefox group policies https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-group-policy.
For my understanding this should be covered by following policies:
GPedit:
Computerconfiguration\Administrative templates\Mozilla\FirefoxAddons
Allow add-on installs from websites = Enabled
Allowed sites = Enabled (with the respective whitelist)
I did some tests, but unfortunaltey I got the same results that Stefan got above.
Is it planned to resolve this issue?
BR

Actually, this has been a major request from Github.
This will be my first priority when I'm working on policies.

This is going to be handled in bug 1522823.
We'll be supporting ExtensionSettings in Chrome, so you'll be able to whitelist domains as new install sources or individual addons.
