# Deploy the firefox Extension

### How to Deploy:

To ensure a seamless deployment of Avanoo's Firefox extension you will have to use a policies.json file or a registry entry. 

### Mac

1. Open the **Applications** folder, right-click **Firefox** and choose **Show Package Contents**.
2. In the **Contents** > **Resources** folder, create a new folder called `distribution`.
3. Save the script from the platform in a file called `policies.json`:

```json
{ "policies": { "ExtensionSettings": { "*": { "blocked_install_message": "Custom error message.", "install_sources": [ "about:addons", "https://addons.mozilla.org/" ], "installation_mode": "allowed", "allowed_types": [ "extension" ] }, "{ YOUR UUID }": { "installation_mode": "force_installed", "install_url": "URL/YOUR UUID.xpi" } } } }
```

To verify that the Sonar browser extension is installed, close and re-open Firefox, click the Firefox menu item in the toolbar, and choose **Add-ons**.

### Windows: <a href="#deploy" id="deploy"></a>

To install the Avanoo Firefox extension on devices running Windows:

Add the following key to the Windows registry (it should be under HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox & type REG\_MULTI\_SZ):

* **Name**: `ExtensionSettings`
* **Data**:&#x20;

<pre class="language-json" data-overflow="wrap" data-expandable="true"><code class="lang-json">{
  "{ <a data-footnote-ref href="#user-content-fn-1">Your extension ID</a> }": {
    "installation_mode": "force_installed",
    "install_url": "URL_AVAILABLE_ON_THE_PLATFORM"
  }
}

</code></pre>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avanoo.ai/public-knowledge-base/browsers-extensions/identified-browser-extension/deploy-the-firefox-extension.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
