  • Then locate your addon in the file manager and install it :)!

Solution 2:

Drag'n'drop from Nautilus or whatever else to Firefox window should work too (any tab, doesn't need to be addon manager).

This way is somewhat faster if you already have found .xpi file.

Solution 3:

You can just open FireFox and then drag the *.xpi File to the fireFox Browser, then it will automatically open the *.xpi file.
