Bug (?): Cannot find setting option to allow userscripts in Firefox/Zen extension setting menu for Shortkeys #912

Description

@MrLogan9237

Issue: I'm trying to create a shortcut to run custom JavaScript (userscript) and when I create the blank shortcut (attachment 1) I get the popup saying to allow userscripts in the extension's settings (attachment 2). The link in the popup does not redirect me to the extension's settings page and I did it manually by pressing manage extension, however upon doing this I could not find the setting to allow userscripts (attachment 3).

I was not able to install the extension through Firefox/Zen extension store because the version listed there was non-functioning so I installed it through the GitHub repo's releases page (exact: https://github.com/crittermike/shortkeys/releases/download/v5.0.1/shortkeys-5.0.1-firefox.zip). When I tried installing the extension by file in the Firefox/Zen extension page it said it could not be installed because it was unverified. I got around this by doing the following:

  1. Went to about:config.
  2. Searched for xpinstall.signatures.required.
  3. Double-click the preference to change its value from true to false.
  4. Restarted browser and reinstalled extension.

I'm pretty confident that the extension isn't showing the option to allow userscripts because of the method I went about installing Shortkeys, but I'm not 100% sure.

Any information that you can give about this and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.
