Abrowser blocking add-on installation

I have a fresh install of Trisquel Mini. Out of the box Abrowser is blocking add-ons from its own add-on repository and I am not seeing any type of option to address this. Every time I try to install an add-on I get the following:
"Abrowser prevented this site from asking you to install software on your computer"
The only option I can find that is close would be the "warn me when sites try to install add-ons", which is off.
Any ideas? This seems to be exceedingly weird behavior out of the box.
It's cause of Mozilla's change to not let third party add ons get installed. It seems Abrowser wasn't sufficiently modified from Firefox to avoid this. File a bug please.
I don't get how is that on a Trisquel-mini fresh install abrowser would say such a thing as it comes with Midori.

I never had the issue but if I remember correctly Onpon4 claimed that one can easily circumvent this by downloading the .xpi (or whatever the extension is - I don't remember) and then installing it manually. Go to preferences - addons- extensions - click on the "mixer square icon" on top - install addon from file.
Yes. But one important detail is you need to use an external program to download the xpi. I suggested using wget; that's what I used when installing the Random Agent Spoofer extension.

Or drag&drop the .xpi onto a browser window.
