title: Problems Repackaging Mozilla Addon Builder Extension Files
body: <p>Have made quite a bit of progress in my quest to figuring out the Mozilla extension platform, but am still struggling with a few issues.. Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction once again :)</p>
  
  <p>Ok, so here is the issue... I have been messing around with the online addon builder app here: <a href="https://builder.addons.mozilla.org/" rel="nofollow">https://builder.addons.mozilla.org/</a></p>
  
  <p>Great, this seems to be working ok for testing simple addons. But it includes so much extra junk - stuff I am not using and don't need there.</p>
  
  <p>Now when I download the .xpi file, rename it to .zip, and extract it to work on the files, when I repackage it to a zip -> xpi, Firefox tells me the package is corrupt when I try to install.</p>
  
  <p>I have deduced that this is because the package is "signed" or something, and when I repackage it myself this is not happening.</p>
  
  <p>Whatever. This is getting ridiculous...</p>
  
  <p>So I want to use the SDK to work locally, and then just include the SDK in the directory somehow. But it looks like I need to install python and run something in order to generate some files first blah blah blah.... are you joking me? I can't just code my app, then include the SDK files?</p>
  
  <p>QUESTION:</p>
  
  <p>How can I create my basic addon/extension with the online Addon Builder, then edit the files locally, repackage it, and use it?</p>
