Manually "installing" those xpi extension files?

There's one thing that concerns me with Firefox, I've installed a few
extensions but they call for web installs which is something I don't
care for at all.

I've saved those xpi files locally to my hdd. Is there a way to
manually "install" these?

Thanks.

 

In Mozilla you can just drag'n'drop them to your browser window.

KEWL!! It seemed to work just fine in Firefox, too! <dancing a jig>
This is coming along very nicely! I'm making the switch from IE quite
well. Esp. since I was on Netscape 6 and then 4.79 today at the
office! Phew, Firefox is heaps better for me. It seems to be much
more intuitive. And that's after years of using 4.79 (I recognized it
from way back when <g>!).

The _only_ 2 things I'm not yet reconciled to, but maybe there's a fix
for:

- Firefox's personal toolbar folder shows icons only after one has
visited the site. I really love how one can assign icons to an IE
shortcut. Made my life so much easier. Any way to do something
similar in Firefox, even if it's with another extension?

- when saving full webpages, IE automatically puts the URL where the
saved page comes from. Is there an extension to do that in Firefox???
All saved html pages are missing this vital information.

Thanks!

==== sounds like you collect text from webpages (like me) I think you
will like the extention " SendTo " from the site ..
http://gorgias.de/mfe/ ...it works great in .9.1 FireFox , it saves
the highlighted text , and the website URL , and the time and date ...
what more could you ask ? hope this helps... Mike555 ===

 

Thanks! I've had it for a few days now and it works great! I don't
get that options box that is shown in the screenshot as I'd like to
change the program it sends text to, but other than that, it works
very well.

Cheers.

Hi,
you can get its options window from the extension manager, clicking on its
first icon on the right (similar to a v): if you hover a little the mouse on
it you see a tooltip saying "options".

 

Awesome!! Thanks so much, that did the trick!
