Hi everybody and MoonChild, Tobin.

Is there a way to do that ? Did the different between Firefox and Palemoon addon is just the GUID and version 24 or lower ?
So I think can we make a tool that auto extract xpi and fix something and then xpi it again, and seem legit ?

Thank!

This was explored and it simply won't work to any acceptable degree..
