We develop a Firefox addon for browser automation. The addon works with any version of the standard Firefox, whereas under Firefox ESR version 38.2, the addon does not communicate with Firefox whereas the addon is marked activated in about:addons What can be the difference between Firefox and Firefox ESR from the addons point of view? Thanks in advance.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

hi, there shouldn't be a difference to that effect, but please post your question in the mozilla addon forums where you will probably get better answers to all issues regrading extension development: https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/add-ons

Hello, Sorry for the delay but we found the difference, the registry is different : The registry location which changed for Firefox ESR is "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox ESR". and we were using this key in our addon.
