official archived versions

Be sure to disable update checks for the RP add-on if you want to keep using the older version.

self-built versions

If you've built your own version of RequestPolicy [1], the generated XPI file is not signed [2]. You've got the following options to be able to use or test RequestPolicy:

• use SeaMonkey, which does not enforce signing
• install Firefox Nightly or Developer Edition and set xpinstall.signatures.required to false [2: FAQ]
• use an unbranded build
