Firefox now requires signing of plug-ins and extensions. The Mendeley web importer for Firefox is not signed, and so cannot be installed in the current release of Firefox. There are three workarounds to this problem, but none of them work for Mendeley. There are two current builds of Firefox that permit unsigned plug-ins. These are Firefox ESR 52 and the developer / nightly build of Firefox. However, the Mendeley plugin is too old to work with these browsers. There is a legacy Firefox 45 ESR which works with Mendeley, but this version is so old that it causes compatibility issues with other software. Will Mendeley be able to resolve this issue going forward?
