Unable to install XPI in firefox

Question

I have created a XPCOM add-on for firefox by the name "Sample Mozilla AddOn" from XPCOM C++ SDK. I have created an XPI file (which is an add-on installer in Firefox).

When i try to install this XPI to install my XPCOM component, i get an error "Sample Mozilla AddOn could not be installed because it has a high risk of causing stability or security problems"

I tried looking out on internet and MDN, but could not found any concrete information.

Kindly Help

Thanks and Regards Uday Gupta

open mozilla firefox, then drag the .xpi file and drop it in mozilla firefox window. Then click install > restart firefox. Just try it...!
