a command-line tool for retrieving the extension ID from a Firefox .xpi add-on package. It automates the process of downloading a .xpi file from Mozilla's Add-ons website, extracting the manifest.json, and displaying the extension's unique ID.
This tool was inspired by the difficulty of retrieving the extension ID when non-declarative installations are blocked in Firefox, as discussed in this thread.
Run the script by passing it a Firefox add-on URL as an argument:
nix run github:tupakkatapa/mozid -- <url>
Clone the repository and make the script executable:
git clone https://github.com/tupakkatapa/mozid.git
cd mozid
chmod +x mozid.shRun the script by passing it a Firefox add-on URL as an argument:
./mozid.sh <url>
