title: Add-on "appears to be corrupt" when trying to install my add-on's .xpi file in Firefox
body: <p>I am trying to install an extension in Firefox 45 (same happens with Firefox 49), but Firefox does not allow me to do that, indicating that </p>
  
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>This add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt. 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The way I am trying to install it is simply by <strong>dragging the .xpi file</strong> our team developed, into the Firefox window. This extension is based on <a href="https://github.com/bard/mozrepl/" rel="noreferrer">MozRepl</a>, but with some improvements.</p>
  
  <p>Previously, I tried to install it but I couldn't as it was not signed (extensions in Firefox versions from 43 onwards require signing). I followed every step in order to sign it, according to this post: <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Signing_a_XPI" rel="noreferrer">Signing a XPI</a>. I am almost certain I could sign it correctly, but now the error Firefox displays is different: "This add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt."</p>

  <p>It seems that I am not creating the .xpi file correctly, but I am not sure which is the correct structure it should have. I tried different folder structures, but with no success. </p>
  
  <p>Also, I checked the Browser Console to see what error is logged in, but I didn't found it really helpful. Here it is:</p>

Note that I tried moving the files manifest.mf, zigbert.rsa and zigbert.sf outside the META-INF folder, but it didn't work either.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone stumbled across an error like this when trying to install an add-on? Any ideas of what maybe happening?</p>
