Hi, I'm not Chinese, but I'm altruistic and I care about other users' needs : apparently, Chinese users can't use the Cat-Catch extension because the Mozilla store is blocked in China:
https://github.com/xifangczy/cat-catch?tab=readme-ov-file#firefox
So, my suggestion is that Cat-Catch should recommend to Chinese users to install Firefox Developer Edition or Firefox ESR to install the Cat-Catch extension permanently outside the store.
Here, I'm referring to permanently installing Cat-Cacth outside the store, not the temporary method where you have to activate the extension each time using:
load temporary addon
about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
Some say that browsers like Waterfox, LibreWolf, and perhaps Zen, Floorp, and Mullvad allow permanent installation of extensions outside the Mozilla Add-ons store, obviously with:
xpinstall.signatures.required false
extensions.quarantinedDomains.enabled false
I think the download link for Firefox Developer Edition should be added to the main Cat-Catch github page in the Firefox section and even in mozilla store page of the extension to make things easier for Chinese users. Thanks!
Obviously, i think Cat-Catch should recommend that users regularly check for updates and new releases to manually install the new version of Cat-Catch, while also disabling the Firefox option "Automatically check for extension updates".
Also, i think Chinese users are the most more likely to make donations because ffmpeg online site in in China, so I think it's a good idea to give them special attention. Thanks!
