5. Navigate to the folder you extracted in step #3 then click Select Folder.

Firefox Setup

2. Unzip the archive, place the folder where it must remain and note its location for later.
3. Go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox and click Load Temporary Add-on...
4. Navigate to the folder you extracted earlier, select manifest.json then click Select File.
5. Open about:config search for extensions.webextensions.keepStorageOnUninstall and set to true.

If you need to test a restart, you must pack the addon. This only works in ESR, Development, or Nightly.

1. Run npm run build:firefox then use web-ext-artifacts/{name}-firefox-{version}.zip.
2. Open about:config search for xpinstall.signatures.required and set to false.
3. Open about:addons and drag the zip file to the page or choose Install from File from the Settings wheel.
