+# samoware-multisave
+
+A very-special-use-case Firefox extension. 
+
+## Installation
+
+You can't install samoware-multisave as a regular browser extension as it is not signed by Mozilla. Load it as a temporary extension instead:
+
+1. Visit the special Firefox page `about:degugging`
+2. Click "This Firefox"
+3. Click "Load Temporary Add-on …"
+4. Select the file `manifest.json` from the extension's project directory. (Actually, you can use any file from the extension.) 
+
+## Known bugs
+
+* Does not work with Flatpak Firefox (temporary extensions can't seem to be loaded due to [this bug](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1852990)). Use Firefox from Snap instead (`sudo snap install firefox`).
