20
          Mozilla Firefox before version 41 allowed users to install

21
          unsigned browser extensions from arbitrary web servers.

22


23
          This module dynamically creates an unsigned .xpi addon file.

24
          The resulting bootstrapped Firefox addon is presented to

25
          the victim via a web page. The victim's Firefox browser

26
          will pop a dialog asking if they trust the addon.

27


28
          Once the user clicks "install", the addon is installed and

29
          executes the payload with full user permissions. As of Firefox

30
          4, this will work without a restart as the addon is marked to

31
          be "bootstrapped". As the addon will execute the payload after

32
          each Firefox restart, an option can be given to automatically

33
          uninstall the addon once the payload has been executed.

34


35
          As of Firefox 41, unsigned extensions can still be installed

36
          on Firefox Nightly, Unbranded and Development builds when

37
          configured with `xpinstall.signatures.required` set to `false`.

39
          Note: this module generates legacy extensions which are

40
          supported only in Firefox before version 57.
