[Resolved] Updating from 11.0.12rc2 to 11.0.13rc1 - Failed, XPI is not signed
Re: Updating from 11.0.12rc2 to 11.0.13rc1 - Failed, XPI is not signed
(Tor Browser is based on FF ESR release, so 64.9.x currently, so is Quantum, so uses NoScript 11.x, not Legacy.)

You are right in principle, but it's 68.4.1esr.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/79.0.3945.130 Safari/537.36 Edg/79.0.309.68
11.0.13 is released, now including FF
11.0.13 is released, to AMO, so is now the current version for FF (in addition to Chrome).
That said, there are no changes between 11.0.13 & the 11.0.13rc1 (which was Chrome only) except for the addition of META-INF (& immaterial change to manifest.json) which then allows an actual install in FF.
So, for FF users, simply a version number bump, if you will.
(Also allows a singular .xpi version to install in both FF & Chrome.)

This issue remains.
I will restate it in the next post.
Now, before criticising anybody, I will point out that in this thread
I 'rushed into posting', and so 'made inaccurate points'.
Here are four examples:
In the 3rd post I wrote:
However, I still believe that Giorgio intends to have 'beta users on Firefox', in which case
he will need to sign the beta / rc XPI.
In the 5th post I wrote:
where I close the exact quotation with a 'double quote character', i.e. a ".
In the 7th post, near the end of the post, I wrote:
Step 12 (which I did not explicitly Report) I also attempted to Update this
from 11.0.12rc2 to 'latest' (i.e. the broken 11.0.13rc1) - Failed.
In the 15th post I said that:
"... Classic NoScript for the TOR Browser ...". This information is now out of date;
there was a time when Giorgio was having to do this (when ESR was 'not Quantum').

To restate the issue:
Issue: NoScript Updates Fail
Firefox users, on the NoScript BETA channel, when doing a 'Check for Updates'
either automatically or via "about:addons".
A 'new version' is Available but NoScript fails to Update.
The 'new version' that is 'found' is this 'unsigned version'
See also
This is NOT the 'Release NoScript' that is now (Feb 2020) on AMO (i.e. version 11.0.13).
Cause: the XPI is not signed
Proposed fix: Upload a signed XPI (11.0.13rc2 - or higher)
Now that the Release version is 11.0.13, I propose that the signed XPI should be
11.0.14rc1 - or higher.
Until a signed XPI is 'made available' for the 'beta channel', like this:
All Firefox NoScript users, on the BETA channel, will remain at 11.0.12rc2 (or older).
Uploading a signed XPI will also fix this thread:
Unable to install Development Build 11.0.13rc1 via link on Development Build
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=25865
(which has the same cause).
The 'getit' page
will also need to be updated, to reflect the proposed, signed, 11.0.14rc1 - or higher.

This seems to be fixed.
I don't know when it was fixed.
It might have been on:
"Sat, 01 Feb 2020 22:02:12 +0000"
(see the feed https://noscript.net/feed?c=200&t=a).
I can't find any better information. Note this is after my post "Sat Feb 01, 2020 4:49 pm" (just above).
Yesterday, 2020-02-11, while I was helping someone (in person) I noticed that her NoScript was now at 11.0.13rc1.
I asked another person at that location to try the test in the 1st post in this thread:
All was normal and an Update did happen. So when we did:
The 'NoScript Tool Tip' also reported "11.0.13rc1" - so this is looking good.
I had previously posted:
using Firefox ESR (68.5.0esr), Firefox Release (73.0) and Firefox Nightly (75.0a1).
In all cases the 'normal blue dot' indicator was present, when doing the 'Check for Update',
and in all cases the NoScript Update (to 11.0.13rc1) was successful.
Regarding the thread:
Unable to install Development Build 11.0.13rc1 via link on Development Build
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=25865
I have been looking at the 'getit page',
https://noscript.net/getit, since 2020-01-13.
The only changes that I have noticed were the addition of SHA 256 links (for NoScript Classic).
So, I decided to browse direct to:
(which is the URL on the getit page "Quantum" NoScript 11.0.13rc1 development build)
Doing this added NoScript 11.0.13rc1, which is what I now expected.
