πŸ“¦ Installation (Firefox)

Quick Install (XPI) β€” Recommended

  1. Download soundforge_equalizer-3.22.8.xpi from the attachments below.
  2. Drag and drop the file into an open Firefox window.
  3. Click "Add" to install instantly.

Note: If Firefox blocks the installation, see the section below on how to disable protection.

Manual Installation (Developer Mode)

  1. Download SoundForge-Equalizer-Firefox-v3.22.8.zip.
  2. Extract the archive to a folder.
  3. Open about:debugging in Firefox.
  4. Click "This Firefox" β†’ "Load Temporary Add-on".
  5. Select the manifest.json file from the extracted folder.

πŸ›‘οΈ How to Disable Firefox Security for XPI Installation

If Firefox blocks the .xpi installation with a warning like "Installation is disabled" or "This add-on could not be installed", follow these steps:

Method 1: Allow via Settings (Firefox ESR 115+)

  1. Open Firefox and type about:config in the address bar.
  2. Click "Accept the Risk and Continue".
  3. Search for xpinstall.signatures.required.
  4. Double-click the preference to set it to false.
  5. Restart Firefox.
  6. Drag and drop the .xpi file again β€” it should now install.

Method 2: Add to Allowed Sites

  1. Open Firefox Settings β†’ Privacy & Security.
  2. Scroll to the "Permissions" section.
  3. Next to "Install Add-ons", click "Settings".
  4. Add the website where you downloaded the .xpi file (e.g., https://github.com) to the allowed list.
  5. Click "Save Changes".
  6. Try installing the .xpi again.

Method 3: Install via about:debugging (No Security Bypass)

  1. Open Firefox and type about:debugging in the address bar.
  2. Click "This Firefox".
  3. Click "Load Temporary Add-on".
  4. Select the manifest.json file from the extracted .zip archive.
  5. The extension will load temporarily (remains until Firefox restarts).

Method 4: Use Developer Edition / Nightly (Advanced)

  • Firefox Developer Edition and Nightly allow unsigned add-ons without disabling signature checks.
  • Install the extension normally via drag-and-drop.

⚠️ Security Warning: Disabling signature verification (xpinstall.signatures.required = false) allows you to install any add-on, including potentially malicious ones. Only do this for trusted extensions like SoundForge Equalizer. Re-enable the setting after installation.
