XPI file appears to be corrupt, sideloading from a website download
Following instructions from this website:
I've got the xpi file saved in my Androids download folder, when I click the file, firefox launchs and tells me the add on is unathorized, I then allow the install but get the error that the file appears to be corrupt... I'm pretty sure the manifest is written correctly,
{
"manifest_version": 2, "name": "FireFoxExtension", "version": "1.0",
"background":{ "scripts":["background.js"] },
"applications":{ "gecko":{ "id":"firefoxExtension" } },
"content_scripts": [ { "matches": ["*://*.mozilla.org/*"], "js": ["contentScript.js"] } ]
}
I am using this simple shell script to zip the xpi file...
sudo zip -r -FS ../fireExtension.xpi *
any ideas?
