When you say not supported, does this mean you have no motivation or
plans to allow extensions formerly dropped in Contents/MacOS/extensions/
to be placed in a different location that doesn't require resigning?

I suspect this means enterprise administrators will need to resign if
they want to install Firefox on many machines and provide preinstalled
extensions?

On a related matter, has Stephan's suspicion been confirmed that running
the binary manually will not trigger gatekeeper and allow developers to
run the app, with all extensions in
obj/dist/Nightly.app/Contents/MacOS/extensions/ (where they end up with
--enable-extensions)

Thanks,
Philipp
