• Drag-and-drop the .xpi into Komodo, to the blank space right of Help on the menu bar, below the blue title bar as shown here (the white icon in this image is the dragged-over .xpi file)

• When you release the dragged-over icon, it will install itself into Komodo.
• Komodo detects the install attempt and shows the Authors Whom You Trust warning.
