=== Enable Add-ons === | |||
Add-ons are not been officially supported in Firefox for Metro, because we have not yet built the UI for users to enable/disable/install/remove add-ons. (We will do this in a future version.) For now, developers and testers can use the following steps to allow Metro Firefox to load add-ons: | |||
* Open Firefox for Metro. | |||
* Go to "about:config" and set "extensions.defaultProviders.enabled" to "true". | |||
* Restart Firefox for Metro. | |||
You can then use Firefox for desktop to install, manage, and remove add-ons. The add-ons that you install in desktop will load in Metro Firefox if they are also marked compatible with the Metro UI. If you are an extension developer, you can make your add-on compatible with Metro Firefox by adding a targetApplication to your install.rdf file with "id" set to {99bceaaa-e3c6-48c1-b981-ef9b46b67d60}. (Metro Firefox will also load extensions with a targetApplication of toolkit@mozilla.org, which are compatible with all XUL applications.) | |||
