Details

I had a signed XPI that I unzipped, modified, and rezipped without thinking.

So now the signature was invalid.

When I went to install, I got:

The download of file:///Users/mkaply/Projects/BrandThunder/trunk/clients/btpersonas-1.0-flastate.xpi failed: -3

This should be a more user friendly error message.
What version of Firefox were you testing with? This should have been fixed with bug 552965
Sorry, I thought I put that in. Firefox 4 Beta 1.
Could you check it in a current nightly, I believe that this is fixed now.
Error now says "This add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt"

Mich better.
