These instructions are needed to setup the device/browser to install packaged apps from the reviewer pages. No extra setup is needed to install hosted apps.

FirefoxOS

Root access (pre FxOS2.1)

To install/setup reviewer certificate access in versions before FxOS2.1, the device needs to be rooted. In FxOS2.1 and above this is no long nessecary. Geeksphone and Alcatel One Touch devices are typically shipped rooted, operator provided devices are typically not. You can test this by typing 'adb root' after installing the ADB - see below - (if it says it can't be run in production builds then certificate installation isn't going to work). Rooting your device is outside of the scope of this page but you may be able to find instructions on the internet, and is obviously taken at your own risk, etc.

Installing ADB:

  1. install the full Android SDK and make sure $ADT/sdk/platform-tools is on your path
  2. or get ADB and Fastboot only. You will need to rename or create links so 'adb' resolves to the executable on your platform.

FxOS version: 1.1 - 1.4

You must root the phone and install ADB.

Installing reviewer certificates: Marketplace/Reviewers/Apps/Guide/Setup/Cert installation

FxOS version: 2.0

You must root the phone and install ADB.

You don't need to install certificates; the system preference dom.mozApps.use_reviewer_certs just needs to be set to true.

  1. connect the device with a USB cable and install any drivers needed.
  2. open a command/terminal window
  3. type "adb shell" to open a adb shell and then the following commands to set the preference:
    1. stop b2g
    2. cd /data/b2g/mozilla/*.default/
    3. echo 'user_pref("dom.mozApps.use_reviewer_certs", true);' >> prefs.js
    4. start b2g

FxOS 2.1+

You don't need to install any certificates, and the system preference to enable reviewer access is in the developer menu of the Gaia settings app.

Enabling the Marketplace Reviewer Certs

Firefox Desktop and Android

Firefox 29 - 30

  • Deprecated - its recommended to use Firefox 31 or higher instead (see below). If testing on these versions is necessary, an add-on can be installed to add reviewer certificates.

Firefox 31+

No add-on needed. You just need to set the preference dom.mozApps.use_reviewer_certs to true. For Desktop, you also need to edit another pref to add the url for Marketplace-dev.

  4. In the Name field, type dom.mozApps.use_reviewer_certs. NOTE: this name is case sensitive, so make sure to type it exactly as shown. The lower case dom is often (mis-)corrected to Dom.
