 Annoying the devs is literally the worst way to get this "issue" fixed.

 Wow, looks like I sure called it on Mozilla controlling which add-ons can
 be installed in TorBrowser being a major problem. I guess I'm owed an
 apology.

 You can install it, but only as a temporary extension that goes away every
 restart. Hence it cannot be installed properly.

 >Moreover, this bug tracker is no support forum. If you look for support
 and have question about Tor, please contact the relevant support channels.

 What would be the relevant support channel to suggest that the Tor Project
 grow a spine and stand up for free speech online?

 This is incorrect, you *absolutely* can install that extension. Note that
 the Tor Project has no control over the moderation policies on AMO or what
 gets or not posted or removed on AMO.

 Feel free to fork Tor Browser as you see fit. It's free software after
 all. _This_ bug tracker is for tracking bugs we can think working on.
 However, the bug you filed is _not_ such a bug. We won't support loading
 extensions outside of AMO. Thus, finally, just leave this bug closed. It
 is a won't fix as I said multiple times.

 Moreover, this bug tracker is no support forum. If you look for support
 and have question about Tor, please contact the relevant support channels.

 Where do I go to report bugs in the Tor Project then, like you refusing to
 issue a statement in favor of free speech when you felt the need to virtue
 signal to SJWs mad over The Daily Stormer using your protocol for its
 intended purpose?

 Also, it absolutely is still a bug that the Tor Browser inherits the
 parent behavior of Firefox of not allowing certain extensions to be
 installed properly based on arbitrary criteria, meaning that this ticket
 should stay open.

 That's not a Tor Browser bug then. Thus, please leave this ticket closed,

 Once installed, it only becomes a temporary add-on that is disabled at the

 If the Tor Project doesn't wish to fix the technical problems with
 Firefox's extension system (which people are going to use regardless of
 the warnings against them), then the Tor Project should at least issue a
 statement against Mozilla's actions here.

 Use your influence and take a stand for Internet freedom. After all, you
 felt the need to issue a statement condemning The Daily Stormer, even
 though that was completely and utterly superfluous because they were doing
 nothing but using hidden services for what they were intended.

 Yep. Apart from that we strongly discourage installing random extensions
 from the internet (even from Mozilla's extensions' store) as they contain
 unknown risks to the privacy and anonymity of Tor Browser users. Thus,
 this is a won't fix.

 How would that work? There's no need for a "whitelist" since there is no
 "blocklist" in the first place, one can easily install that extension by
 manually downloading it for instance.
