Similar to the following discussion

I would like to change the jar references in an extension I'm working on 
to reference another non-jar location on my disk.  This will help make 
developing my extension much easier.

Since Firefox 0.9+ doesn't appear to use installed-chrome.txt for 
extensions that are installed in your profile, I'm not entirely sure how 
to change an extension install such that they reference files in a 
folder on my disk.  The extension's install.rdf contains a <Description 
about="urn:mozilla:extension:file:extensionName.jar"> but that "about" 
attribute seems to be just a name.

Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thanks.
