Add-on installation hangs at verification. #98

Trying to install gecko profiler to current Nightly with STR:

  1. Downloaded https://github.com/bgirard/Gecko-Profiler-Addon/blob/master/src/geckoprofiler.xpi
  2. From the local computer Downloads folder, dragged the downloaded xpi file on top of the browser window.

That gives me a downloading and verifying screen:

addon_doesnt_verify

But that screen never finished even after I leave it there for 10 minutes, and the add-on doesn't install. (Btw, do you prefer bug reports here or bugzilla?)

I think this may be happening since the add-on is not signed. You can turn on the extensions.logging.enabled pref and look at the browser console for the log messages from the extension manager. I'm trying to get the add-on signed, but in the mean time you can also disable add-on signing (don't have the pref name for that handy, sorry.)

"You may need to set the xpinstall.signatures.required pref to false in order to install it, since the XPI is not yet signed." src: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Performance/Profiling_with_the_Built-in_Profiler

EDIT: looks like this was already false for me (firefox 40.0.3 dev edition) and it worked without hangs.

I used to get a signature failure error and set that pref, however now it
just hangs there without any error.

FYI, that's issue #94.
