i0mx9kk We are not sure how to fix this, because the download link changes with each extension update and old downloads get deleted. Suggestions welcome.

    Vlad Actually, you don't have to change link every time. I found a Firefox extension GitLab and the only thing you need to install the extension is to click on the latest .xpi file and then click Add button.

    Even though the extension was removed from the Firefox store, it's still signed by it, so you won't have any issues installing it. And IIRC the extension has an auto update feature after manually installing it.

    So, I guess you can leave a link for the latest version and don't ever care about it, the extension should auto-update itself if it's an outdated version.

      Vlad Can't you simply copy a download link and embed it in the button? For example: Download

      Clicking this button will open a context menu "Would you like to add the web extension 'Bypass
      Paywalls Clean'?"

      The only thing you need is to click "Add" in that menu and that's all, the extension is installed and supports auto-update.

        i0mx9kk The link you provided specifies a an extension version. In couple of weeks this link will become invalid which is what happens currently and why installing does not work.

        The problem can be solved if bypass paywall team always used a fixed url for the latest version like bpe-latest.xpi. I will make an issue on their website for this.
