Hey,

I can't install the Facebook Ad Manager Script to mozilla.

The file is .xpi

I open the file and the script load but the I get this from Mozilla:

Firefox could not install the file at

file:///C:/xxxxx/FacebookAdManager/test/fb.xpi

because: Not a valid install package
-207


What to do?
#programming #facebook #install #manager #mozilla
  • Are you using the latest version of mozilla firefox?

    Are you using the latest version of the extension?

    Have you tried downloading the extension again and installing that version?

    Try creating a new Firefox profile (start>run>cmd)
    Code:
    firefox.exe -profilemanager
    Start the new profile (don't delete your old one!) and try installing the extension now.

    • your problem is 2 fold...

      1- if you have found an older version, when the program was
      available for free? then it just may not be compatible with
      the last few updates of FF

      2- Facebook has issued a "cease & desist" to the developer as
      the FB TOS for their ad system explicitly forbids the use of any
      software to run/setup/manage FB ads

      Code:
      http://www.mrgreen.am/facebook-ads/mr-green-aint-happy-facebook-shutdown-fb-ad-manager/
      from this page-> Advertising Guidelines | Facebook

      so I would suggest that you forget about using the plugin. do NOT
      even for a moment think that FB can not query your browser and
      know that it is FF, and then run an app to watch for automation.

      best to maybe read the ad rules above and just learn to live with
      what FB expects ... it IS their website after all
