Your addon is not signed. I think this is why. What you need to do is download the nightly or developer edition browser. Then go to about:config and then set the `xpinstall.signatures.required` pref to false. Then from command line do a `jpm xpi` to create an xpi of your addon then drag it to the developer edition/nightly browser and it will install.

I found what was wrong.

My package.json file had a caracter invalid.
So when jpm gerenate an install.rdf file(XML file), it was corrupted.
