Hello,

It was suggested to add an ID to the manifest.json file inside the extension archive in order to get around the corruption error. I tried this using an addon that is not working:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-ff/

I did the following to add the ID:

- Download the XPI file

- Open it with 7-Zip

- Copy manifest.json out of the archive

- Add the following data to the json file:

"gecko": {
    "id": "address@hidden"
  },

- Copy the edited manifest.json file over the one inside the archive

- Attempt to install it in Icecat using "Install add-on from file"


When I do this, I'm still getting the corruption error. Does anyone know if adding the information to the manifest.json is the only thing that needs to be done? I've attached the files I used to test this.
