Block McAfee Endpoint Security Web Control

It's injected into extensions.json

The full json node can be removed, but it still loads.

It's loaded by enterprise policy > about:policies

Eg: Extensions > Install C:\Program Files (x86)\McAfee\Endpoint Security\Web Control\e10swcffplg.xpi


The addon can be disabled modifying the group policy:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\Locked\1

from its original value {cb40da56-497a-4add-955d-3377cae4c33b} (eg: altering one hexadecimal digil), restarting Firefox and disabling it from 'Add-on and themes'.


Block Snow Web Application Metering

At the profile directory, extensions/, there is file:
cloudmetering@snowsoftware.com.xpi
Modify anything on file eventPage.js. The extension will not verify and therefore it won't load.


Certificate error exceptions (server)

Useful for allowing connections to servers w/ self-signed certificates.

Eg: OKD (OpenShift)> https://oauth-openshift.apps.clustername.mydomain.tld

Settings > Certificates

Tab 'Servers', click "Add Exception..." and follow the indications.
