Local Addon setup

Hi, I just finished writing a few lines of javascript to automate bookmark management. I tested my Addon using about:debugging > Temporary Extensions, and now I'd like to keep the extension loaded across firefox sessions.

What is the best process for doing this? I attempted to create a .xpi file but when installing via "about:addons > Install addon from file" I get the message "This addon could not be installed because it could not be verified".

What is Firefox's self-signing process for this? I don't want to have to install dev versions of the browser just to automate one task.

Wonderful, that's slower than an automated process but I don't expect to make a ton of changes, and I can always test newest stuff via about:debugging. Thanks!

I thought if your Addon is on the same loaded Browser it is loaded for all sessions in the Browser?

Once loaded as a temporary extension via about:debugging, if I close firefox and open it the Addon is no longer running in about:debugging. I want my code to run without configuration steps every day.

I see, but since it kept saying not verified I think that would require Firefox Addon site to verify the Addon to work I guess. I think this might be something to look at to get it verified so it works as Addon.
