Hi guys! I want to install Firefox extensions through my own server. However, when I click on the link that leads to the .xpi file, the download windows pop up instead of the install windows. I tried using file:///c:\extension.xpi to access the file and the install window does pop up, same to using FTP to host the file and use firefox to open it.

How can I setup Abyss so .xpi file will trigger the installation window instead of the download window. Thank you! :)

You're wrong ;) Nothing snazzy to it, just a mime type to add in the Abyss control panel...
