Re: Installing xpi from outside Netscape. HELP PLEASE!

When faced with a similar problem (i.e. not wanting to re-launch Mozilla 
at the end of each make), I eventually decided to do all the necessary 
steps by hand: create the appropriate directory if necessary and copy 
into it...

I have seen a tool created to automatize this, in Perl. I think it was 
written by shogouki on the mozilla irc servers.

Hope it helps,
  Yoric
