IceWeasel and Firefox Extensions
This is some information on how to install extensions for firefox/iceweasel system wide or on all profiles for a user.
This stuff is pretty simple and rather obvous once you see what is going on so this is just here to remind me what to do if I come across this problem again
Make Extensions/Addons Available for all users
Extensions/Addons are installed in
~/.mozilla/firefox/
by default. This
means that they are only available for that specific profile and often
you want the same extensions available for all profiles... and all
users.
Install the extension and restart firefox. The extension will now be
in the profile specific extensions folder. Move the extension from the
profile folder into
/usr/lib64/firefox/extensions
(alter if you are
using a 32 bit system /usr/lib/firefox/extensions
).
sudo mv .mozilla/firefox/djn7382f.default/extensions/https-everywhere\@eff.org/ /usr/lib64/firefox/extensions/ sudo chown -R root:root /usr/lib64/firefox/extensions/https-everywhere\@eff.org
