(re)install an extension from command line
Hi all. I'm developing a firefox extension non bootstrap, and it would be very helpful to me to automatize its installation for rapid development. Specially I would like to be able to restart firefox from command line and reinstall my extension. I have this bash / bat script that builds the xpi file for the extension. Now, I have to drop the xpi file to firefrox using the mouse and answer 2 dialogs for restarting firefox an be able to test my extension changes. This is not practical to me and I would like to reduce this work and be able to reinstall my extension using the command line. I tried with firefox -install-global-extension but it is not working. My general idea is something like this shell script - not working at least in my env: FIREFOX_BIN="/home/sebastian/programas/firefox/firefox" FIREFOX_EXE_NAME="firefox" #kill any firefox instance killall $FIREFOX_EXE_NAME; rm -rf *.xpi sh build.sh #build the xpi file $FIREFOX_BIN -install-global-extension "/home/sebastian/desarrollo/portal4/beeblos-firefox-extension-1.2/beeblos-firefox-addon-0.2.xpi" & I'm using firefox 12, just downloaded a fresh copy for testing -install-global-extension cmd line param and thunderbird > 3, in linux. p/d: I tried to search in this news group for something like this cause I thought it would be common to do this but didn't found anything.

You can just tell Firefox to load your extension from wherever your source files are that you're editing: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Setting_up_extension_development_environment#Firefox_extension_proxy_file
