You're welcome! The documentation for install.rdf seems have been recently
updated. I actually first found out about unpack by using hg+code. The other
part was renaming the xpi to {id}.xpi without unpacking. I don't think that's
actually documented anywhere. Fixing my packager system to work with signed
extensions prompted me to look more in-depth into it.

Interesting, thanks. Having a quick look at one that works when unpacked,
Zotero LibreOffice Integration, yes it does; and one that doesn't work when
unpacked, Zotero, no it doesn't.
"Optional Property Reference
unpack
A true or false value that tells the application whether the extension requires
its files be unpacked into a directory in order to work or whether the
extension can be loaded direct from the XPI. In versions before Gecko 2.0 all
extensions were unpacked, in Gecko 2.0 and later the default is to not unpack.
If an extension includes the following then it must request unpacking:
Binary XPCOM components
Plugins
Search plugins
DLLs loaded with ctypes
Dictionaries
Window icons"

Why aren't authors communicative about this kind of thing... there's no mention
I can find about this in the former's documentation.
Thanks Ing-Long Eric Kuo
