How do you install Firebug if your computer is isolated from the internet?

Question

I have noticed that Firebug and some other addons I have browsed require that Firefox be installed and running for them to be installed.

That's a little inconvenient, given that my development machine is not connected to the internet. Is there a way to download and install the addins using a flash drive?

Answer 1

To manually install a Firefox extension into Firefox, download the add-on to your computer. If the download option isn't available, right click on the extension install link and select "Save Link As..". Be sure not to change the file extension. A Firefox extension will usually be a .XPI file.

Next, go to the Firefox drop down menus at the top of the browser. Select File > Open File then select the addon.xpi file and click on Open. The Software Installation window will appear, click install, restart Firefox.

some different way to solve this by using portable version of firefox, you can pack them with all what you need and save it in your flash drive.

Much easier than download any extension for each instance and install them.
