Hey,

For anyone who missed it, we had a meeting in Austin about how to move away from old-style bootstrapped add-ons. Specifically we're talking about things like bootstrap.js (which loads chrome-privileged JS code into the main process) and install.rdf (this is one of the things keeping us from dropping RDF support).

Keeping this support alive is also a burden in terms of code complexity and tests, mostly in the add-ons manager code.

We've successfully made this transition for third-party add-ons (AMO and Firefox both require WebExtensions), but we still have some Mozilla-published add-ons:

• Test Pilot
• System Add-ons[1]

1. Download and install the targeted version of Firefox
2. Create a .xpi file for your add-on (this is just a zip file with install.rdf and bootstrap.js at the root) The filename must start with your add-on ID, for instance [email protected]
3. Create an XML file as described in http://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/addon-manager/SystemAddons.html#update-request
4. Open about:config and modify the extensions.systemAddon.update.url pref to point to the above XML file
5. Also in about:config, flip the extensions.logging.enabled and devtools.chrome.enabled prefs to true
6. Open the Browser Console (Tools->Web Developer->Browser Console)
7. At the prompt at the bottom of the Browser Console, force an update check by running Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/AddonManager.jsm"); AddonManagerPrivate.backgroundUpdateCheck()
8. Open about:support and verify that system add-on appears and information is correct
