There is a new way of installing plugins in FF >=57. I have pre-install plugins into /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/ However, they are disabled by default. Please add the following two lines into FILESDIR/all-gentoo-1.js: defaultPref("extensions.autoDisableScopes", 0); defaultPref("extensions.enabledScopes", 15); The official documentation is here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Alternative_distribution_options/Add-ons_in_the_enterprise
This might need some additional discussion with mozilla team before we include it, though it does seem like something we would want to handle automatically given installations to this path should be PM-managed.
It should be also added: ("extensions.update.autoUpdateDefault", false) to prevent autoupdate of installed extensions
would be good to see some progress, since this version went stable.
Please feel free to reopen and update any bug report that can be duplicated with current esr builds, 60.x. If you feel your feature needs to be re looked at in any of these bugs reopen and update, please attach patches when appropriate. Thank you Mozilla Team
the solution is applicable for 60.x as well, as per subject. Somebody just need to spend 10 min and fix it eventually

I am not in favor of such behavior in gentoo. If you feel it is that important you can always control the settings yourself via about:config
We (Pentoo distro) need it to be set globally as our distro comes with FF plugins and it would be good to have them enabled by default

I am not sure if I understand the problem. We already set > pref("extensions.autoDisableScopes", 0); What's not working? Why do you still need > defaultPref("extensions.enabledScopes", 15); ?
