Regarding bitching: "If you like deviantSkin, please support ITS author". It's the usual mistake !

I have had the same with providing secure updates or something, will you make it work for the latest Firefox as well or not? I have always wanted to change the boring colour on dA.

SECURE UPDATE PROBLEM

As expected there is a hidden setting that you can adjust to prevent Firefox from checking the address from which an extension retrieves its updates. Here’s what you have to do:

Start Firefox.
In the Address Bar type “about:config” and press Enter.
Right-Click and select New->Boolean.
A box requesting the Preference Name will popup and you should enter “extensions.checkUpdateSecurity” (without the quotes). Press OK to continue.
Select “False” from the box and press OK again.
After that you should be able to install your extensions just as you normally would. Disabling this feature could pose a security risk though, so be careful with what extensions you install when this is disabled.

Hope this helped

You should note this to Bluespeed9 so people can see it from him and not have to search the comments for it. Good find though!
