Integrating add-on into custom Firefox build

Post by caspinos »

Hello

I'm building custom Firefox build and I would like to integrate my add-on (Add-on SDK) to the build. I would prefer this than direct interference with Firefox code.
What is the best way to achieving this?
I'm thinking about placing it into /browser/extensions/ directory. If it's a good idea than please explain to me (or point to appropriate docs files) how to achieve this.

Thank You in advance.

Thanks for reply.
The solution proposed there isn't exactly what I need - I want to include an extension into build so after compilation I don't have to perform any more action during or after the installation.

Perhaps it is achievable in a way that pdfjs is integrated in: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/ ... xtensions/
