Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Currently, addon authors that want to sign their XPIs to self-host their extensions need to generate the XPI file, extract the install manifest, sign the manifest, put it back into the XPI, generate the hash of the XPI, add the hash to the update manifest, sign it, and then verify that everything works.

It would be nice if there was a way in the SDK to automate or simplify at least part of this process.

2. Users & use cases

Users who want to self-host their addons without paying for an SSL certificate to prove identity.
