Hi!
I'm trying to improve the default behavior for the tor-browser package in pkgsrc.
For this reason, I want to install the noscript and https-everywhere extensions by default for new users, but leave the users the option to update them if they want; the sysadmin probably will be slower than the users.
So following a stackoverflow post I found (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37728865/install-webextensions-on-firefo...) I made packages that install the xpi files for noscript and https-everywhere below ${MAINDIR}/distribution/extensions/, like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3076882 Apr 21 21:37 /usr/pkg/lib/tor-browser/distribution/extensions/https-everywhere@eff.org.xpi -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 582656 Apr 21 21:37 /usr/pkg/lib/tor-browser/distribution/extensions/{73a6fe31-595d-460b-a920-fcc0f8843232}.xpi
I got the final names under which to install them from a tor-browser user profile into which I installed them manually.
When I start tor-browser without a profile, I see that the noscript xpi was copied automatically, but the https-everywhere one was not.
I.e., ${PROFILEDIR}/extensions/{73a6fe31-595d-460b-a920-fcc0f8843232}.xpi exists but https-everywhere@eff.org.xpi is not there. I see the same in about:addons - NoScript is listed, but HTTPS Everywhere is not.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong, or how to find out for sure?
Thanks, Thomas

The problem was the name, a "-eff" was missing it should have been "https-everywhere-eff@eff.org.xpi". Thomas
