 to issue a statement in favor of free speech when you felt the need to
 virtue signal to SJWs mad over The Daily Stormer using your protocol for
 its intended purpose?

 > Also, it absolutely is still a bug that the Tor Browser inherits the
 parent behavior of Firefox of not allowing certain extensions to be
 installed properly based on arbitrary criteria, meaning that this ticket
 should stay open.

 Feel free to fork Tor Browser as you see fit. It's free software after
 all. _This_ bug tracker is for tracking bugs we can think working on.
 However, the bug you filed is _not_ such a bug. We won't support loading
 extensions outside of AMO. Thus, finally, just leave this bug closed. It
 is a won't fix as I said multiple times.

 Moreover, this bug tracker is no support forum. If you look for support
 and have question about Tor, please contact the relevant support channels.
